We use glass to tell our personal truths, but we can also use it to create false narratives. I wouldn't have been able to vaccinate without glass bottles, but we wouldn't have seen the rapid spread of anti-vaccine conspiracy theories without glass screens in our pockets. Without glass tubes, German glassblower Heinrich Geisler would not have been able to observe cathode rays, Ernest Rutherford would not have been able to discover the energy contained in atomic nuclei, and we would not have nuclear reactors or atomic bombs. We would not have known that when the atomic bomb exploded, it had the power to turn sand into glass, forming star-shaped shards that littered the blast site and remained undiscovered until decades later. Maybe our beliefs won't be so uncertain, so unstable.

Understanding Your Needs

Low emissivity (low-e) glass is a type of glass that has a special coating designed to minimize heat transfer through windows. This results in improved energy efficiency for buildings and homes by reducing the amount of heat that is lost or gained through windows.

As explained in the video, float glass possesses a number of key attributes that make it highly desirable for use in windows, glass facades, and more. Its exceptional clarity is one of its hallmark features, allowing for maximum light transmission while minimizing distortion. Furthermore, float glass can be produced in a variety of thicknesses and sizes, making it adaptable for numerous applications.

Solar Energy Applications

Switchable frosted glass, often referred to as smart glass, is a type of glass that can change its opacity on demand. When an electrical current is applied, the invisible electrochromic layer within the glass transforms from transparent to opaque, providing instant privacy. Conversely, when the current is turned off, the glass returns to its clear state. This dynamic feature makes it an ideal choice for various applications, from residential homes to commercial buildings.
