Science of Glass
Science of Glass
Ancient history to extraordinary possibility
Gone are the days when glass was fragile. Gone is the age when glass was used only to contain. Today — in the Glass Age— glass is versatile, flexible, and strong. Glass moves information at the speed of light. Glass enables devices that are as sophisticated as they are beautiful. Glass transforms everyday surfaces and provides extraordinary benefits. Discover how the technical properties of glass are changing the world.

How It Works
How It Works: Anti-Reflective
How It Works: Anti-Reflective
Corning’s anti-reflective solution greatly reduces the intensity and magnitude of light reflecting off a device, making devices easier to read in the bright sun.

How It Works: Fibrance
How It Works: Corning® Fibrance® Light-Diffusing Fiber
A running jacket illuminated by glowing lines. A car’s dashboard and seats outlined by bright strands. A music system with speakers that pulsate light in time with the beat. Those are the cool applications that Corning® Fibrance® Light-Diffusing Fiber makes possible.

How It Works: Fusion
How It Works: Corning's Fusion Process
Corning was the first manufacturer in the world to form specialty glass suspended in mid-air. It's the hallmark feature of the proprietary "fusion" process, a big key to Corning's innovation success over the past two decades.
