The chemistry of glass has been finely tuned since those early experiments, and the process has been scaled up to incredible proportions, enough to make glass production one of the largest ...

The key enabling technology is thin panes of glass—sandwiched between thicker standard glass—which exist because of the same ...

Fran Scott learns how glass is made in a factory ... These clips will be relevant for teaching Science and Chemistry at KS4 in England, Wales and Northern Ireland and National 4/5 in Scotland.

State and explain which type of glass would be best to make a boiling tube, for use in a school chemistry laboratory. Borosilicate glass would be best because it has a higher melting point than ...
