The second is more complicated: metallic glass is an odd material and many will get this wrong.

To enable this material to store electrical energy, two layers of woven fibres are made into a sandwich, separated by a thin layer of a glass-based insulating material.

In 1931 American chemical engineer Samuel Kistler invented the lightest known solid--an aerogel--by drying a form of silicon dioxide (a raw material for glass) under intense pressure and high temperature.

This creates a material that combines the strength of glass with the toughness of metal, resulting in a very strong material.

The nanotubes are mixed into a compound called "bucky gel" to prevent clumping, and after some rubber-like flourinated copolymer is mixed in and it's all poured onto a glass plate, holes are punched in the material to better flexibility.

With the over-the-top criticisms of the new Arizona immigration law coming from the Mexican president and the Obama Administration (who admit they haven't yet read it), commentators in print, online and on talk radio have used as source material a Center for Security Policy research paper called, "Mexico's Glass House" by Dr. J.

The raw material is converted into soda ash, used in detergents and pharmaceuticals and in the manufacturing of glass.

Layers of material which work as filters, electrodes, transistors and the liquid crystal itself are deposited onto a thin glass plate to form a sandwich that is covered with another pane of glass.
