Researchers at the University of Bayreuth, together with partners in China and the U.S., have produced an oxide glass with unprecedented toughness. Under high pressures and temperatures, they succeeded in paracrystallizing an aluminosilicate glass: The resulting crystal-like structures create a highly damage-tolerant material.
