Ultra-light glazing

David Jones

Nature, 1999, vol. 397, issue 6717, 302-302

Abstract: Thin, soapy films can be created because, if a region suddenly thins, surface tension rises and hauls it back to a safe thickness. Daedalus wants to apply this principle to glass, to allow the creation of an ultra-thin glass film that could be used for glazing, to produce unscratchable, unbreakable windows, or even for making books with glass pages.
