One of [CNLohr]’s bigger claims to fame is his process for making glass PCBs. They’re pretty much identical to regular, fiberglass-based PCBs, but [CNLohr] is building circuits on microscope slides.

The best way to understand glass is to understand how it is made. The first step to make glass requires heating up a mixture of minerals – often soda ash, limestone and quartz sand – until they melt ...

Glasses are not stoichiometric compounds but variable mixtures of substances, some of which can independently form glasses while others cannot. This variability allows for a vast range of compositions ...

A team of Indian researchers has demystified devitrification, which is the transformation of a glass into a crystal, and visualised the process for the first time in experiments, the Indian Institute ...
