A new technique makes it possible to bend sheet glass into complex or unconventional shapes with the help of laser beams. This opens up a whole new range of potential products for architects and ...

Researchers take advantage of glass property of becoming malleable when exposed to high temperatures. Bend it: prototype sheet glass with tiny radii, produced by laser-based forming. A new laser-based ...

Ordinarily, if a window goes around the corner of a building, it's made of two flat panes of glass that are joined together by a metal rail or glue. Now, though, German scientists have developed a ...

GWEIKE expands its ultrafast laser platform to deliver high-precision glass cutting, reduced microcracks, and stable industrial production solutions. Ultrafast laser modification enables manufacturers ...

At times a shimmering gray, at times more of a greenish color, the glass facades of high-rise buildings are mostly fairly similar in appearance. They become unique when individual glass elements are ...

Schott's Ultra-Thin Glass is thinner than a human hair, and you can watch us bend it in this CNET video. When his parents denied him a Super NES, he got mad. When they traded a prize Sega Genesis for ...

Flat glass is boring. All the fanciest Android phones sport curved glass displays. Not to be left out of the display-warping ways, Apple has patented its own glass-bending process. Apple's patent ...

Computer scientists develop a design tool that opens up the use of a cost-efficient technology for curved glass panels. The tool is based on a deep neural network and allows for the free-form design ...
