The Story of
GLASS
Glass is a solid material that is typically transparent, brittle, and hard. It is primarily composed of silica, along with small amounts of other oxides, such as sodium, calcium, and aluminum. These oxides are melted together at high temperatures and then rapidly cooled to form a rigid, non-crystalline structure.
