The Most Important Material Ever Made

At Highly Educated, we spend a bit of time thinking about materials and of course one of our most favorite is glass.

That’s why Derek Muller’s latest Veritasium video on the science of glass caught my attention. Derek dives deep into what makes glass so extraordinary. They talk about what glass is, the invention of gorilla glass, what makes glass fragile, and many other interesting topics. 

If you’ve ever wondered why glass behaves the way it does—or why it’s the material of choice in so much of what we do—I recommend checking out the video link below.
