Researchers at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), who are working in collaboration with colleagues at the Université Pierre et Marie Curie in Paris on a method to make stronger glass with better aging properties, recently made a surprising discovery. If glass is placed under tremendous pressure as it cools, it develops enhanced atomic bonds that are similar to those that bolster the connections in a steel truss building.
