A new technique makes it possible to bend sheet glass into complex or unconventional shapes with the help of laser beams. This opens up a whole new range of potential products for architects and ...

The ability to bend sheets of glass into angular corners without damaging the sheet or impairing the optical properties is attractive in architecture, industrial design and medical technology.

Researchers take advantage of glass property of becoming malleable when exposed to high temperatures. Bend it: prototype sheet glass with tiny radii, produced by laser-based forming. A new laser-based ...

At times a shimmering gray, at times more of a greenish color, the glass facades of high-rise buildings are mostly fairly similar in appearance. They become unique when individual glass elements are ...
