Recap: It's been nearly four years since we first heard about Project Silica, a Microsoft Research project tasked with storing digital data on sheets of glass. At the time, Microsoft was able to ...

Researchers at Kyushu University debuted the world's first silica glass guitar pick with a live performance at the United Nations International Year of Glass 2022 closing ceremony.

A team of Swedish scientists has developed a novel 3D-printing technique for silica glass that streamlines a complicated energy-intensive process. As a proof of concept, they 3D-printed the world ...

However, a research team from France has developed a new technique that uses femtosecond lasers to drill microscopic holes in glass with a minimum of tapering and no cracking! Brilliant, no?

Microsoft's Project Silica is teaming up with a citizen-science effort to lay the groundwork for a "Golden Record 2.0" archive for aliens.

Selenium compounds and their uses In the form of sodium selenate, is used in the glass industry, where small amounts act to decolorize glass.

Silica, a mineral found in sand, is the major component used in the production of glass and when used in soils, chemical reactions of soils containing waste glass produces silicic acid, which is not ...

The latest bioactive glasses from Mo-Sci are borate-based, which use boron rather than silica for the glass former (see Mirragen ® above).

When a ground glass pozzolan is introduced, it gives up a silica atom and joins the CH to become CSH. This pozzolanic reaction allows ground glass to gain cementing properties and act as a partial ...

Although techniques for 3D printing glass at nanoscales using two-photon polymerization (TPP) have greatly advanced, the temperatures required for sintering of particle-based silica glass resins ...
