And glass breaks," thus said the famous tech reviewer JerryRigEverything. And yet, over the years, science has stretched the practical applications of glass. So much so that we have been introduced to glass "stronger than steel." Then again, just how tough has glass become, especially the ones we usually see everyday - our screens? Tempered glass If there is no indication what brand is being used for your phone screens, it is more likely a type of tempered glass that people might be quite familiar with. The art of tempering glass was believed to have been developed as early as the 17th century, and there is reason why such glass is called "tempered." Said to be four times stronger than ordinary glass, the tempering process to create this glass puts the interior into tension and the exterior into compression. Only when greater force is applied would tempered glass shatter, but not into large shards or splinters like other glasses would. Instead, the tempered glass would disintegrate into smaller pieces, preventing potential injury. The process has also made cutting and shaping the glass different, as one would have to do so before tempering.
