The Most Important Material Ever Made

Glass is pretty awesome.

Here Dr Derek explores the history of glassmaking through modern glass like Gorilla Glass including how modern glass is made stronger, how it's tested, why glass is transparent for light, and lots more.

How tough is the new Gorilla Glass 6?

Wait, Gorilla Glass 5 has been improved upon?

Fine, but I'm sure nothing will ever surpass Gorilla Glass 6.

In all honesty, I did like seeing the various tests that the glass designers undertake when they're developing a new glass. I haven't had the issues described with the purse, but I'm assuming those are real issues.

In the video below, we get a brief glimpse into the manufacturing and prototyping of the various glass compositions on the way toward a final product.

Gorilla glass tests (2, 3, 4)

Admittedly, this is an advertisement, but at least it's an advertisement with some hard data.

Gorilla Glass was impressive, but Gorilla Glass 2 is light years ahead of it. I'm sure they'll never come out with anything more impressive.



Ok, color me corrected. Gorilla Glass 3 is stunning. That's the best I will ever see. It'll never be topped.
