I never expected to spend 50 minutes watching a video about glass.
Amazing levels of technology in a chunk of glass. Extremely interesting. Thanks Sandy

[gregeconomeier]

Corning really laid out a well organized, presented and informative presentation of their auto products. Thanks to both Munro and Corning.

IMO, Corning, Inc. is one of America's premier companies and an international leader in glass and ceramic research and development as well as manufacture. Gorilla glass probably is something familiar to almost everyone, but the applications for that and even newer technologies go well beyond your iPhone: e.g. from kitchens to vehicles to displays to computer chips to space craft and applications like the Hubble and James Webb telescopes.This is an excellent introductory video, in particular explaining how "acoustic glass, " used in new Tesla Model 3's, for instance (but not from Corning, Peru-based AGP is one of their suppliers, I think), actually works. Thank you, Sandy & Munro team and thanks to the Corning folk!

The more you know the more you know you don't know. That's why Munro Live videos are such a treat. This one was over the top in information. Fascinating material.

Sandy - How can I ever thank you for these educations!

[tesla_tap]

Great demos - Thanks both to Corning and Munro for putting this all together!

[billd]

Wow! That was very instructive. To think that Steve Jobs insisted on glass in lieu of plastic for the iPhone and that motivated the development of gorilla glass for the original iPhone in 2007.

I could lose myself for weeks in those Corning labs learning the minutia of creating various glass types, coatings, etc. I got a bit of that as a photographer and the coatings applied to glass surfaces to keep light scatter down, not to mention various glass formulas (i.e. Schott Glass used by Leica and Zeiss) and lenses made from fluorite and other exotic materials.

[GuyIncognito]

Super cool. I met the Corning scientist folks (different than here) at that headquarters back in 2012, but for PV panel glass options. I learned so much from them. It's a solid American company and glass is wicked complex.

"a little window into what it's like to be a glass company" (48:54). Well put, but more like a large, flexible window. I use 1980s Corning Visions cookware regularly and still impressed with that now-40-yo technology.

[sumofty]

This is good stuff! People take for granted enablers that may not be outright exciting but enable great experiences.

[gritnltw]

Love this type of videos. Miss Carl and his vehicle hardware, material, cmf reviews 🙂

[gbinman]

This presentation was fascinating. I am not in the business at all but have a fair knowledge of most tech sciences and thoroughly enjoyed.

[paulbentley]

Thanks Sandy and Corning team for this wonderful insight into glass technology. The one question that wasn’t asked is when will we have a touchscreen display that doesn’t show fingerprints.??

[norfolk]

Top notch content on YouTube, thank you very much.

[eddiegardner]

Thank you Corning for sharing this information with Sandy Munro, our conduit into the technology of automotive products.

[donnytucker]

Amazing tour and great products. Having quieter glass has always fascinated me. Heavy rain is always so loud on glass.

[aryaman]

What a wonderful team at Corning, given the fact that they're such a biga.s global company.
Imagine the amount of R&D investment that must have gone in, and the effort put in to come up with such products.

[thatscottishengineerguy]

Maybe I’m just a nerd, but I thought this was fascinating.

[Trashed]

So they've come up with bendable glass. Should make it easier and cheaper to install touch screen interfaces that wrap around the user. I could see the application in Spacecraft too.
