alphacyberrangerLionGlass: New Type of Glass That's Greener and 10x More Damage Resistant
NeoNachtwaechterGlass that’s greener?
Shouldn’t it be the grass that’s always greener?
Oh that ok. It’s not green on this side.
Glass is greener on the other side due to physics
Soda lime glass, yes.
tallwookiepass, I want clear glass.
bauhausI’m still waiting until we switch to transparent aluminum.
this stuff? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aluminium_oxynitride
That's a ceramic. Not exactly what people mean when they say "aluminum."
neither is “transparent”
this IS what I was talking about, or, rather, the real-world version of it. I was making a Star Trek reference in my previous comment, for those who didn’t catch it.
Sounds pretty neat!
But is it cost effective?
HubertMannethey don't say but it uses significantlly less energy which I believe is the biggest expense in glassmaking. Im hoping it can be a replacement and that we might see more glass containers come back given its greater strength thus lower chance at shattering from a fall.
Ohhhh! Greener as in more environmentally friendly, not color.
