PSU: “New glass cuts carbon footprint by nearly half and is 10x more damage resistant”

[BobPSU92]

See the link below. From the article:

”UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. — Worldwide, glass manufacturing produces at least 86 million tons of carbon dioxide every year. A new type of glass promises to cut this carbon footprint in half. The invention, called LionGlass and engineered by researchers at Penn State, requires significantly less energy to produce and is much more damage resistant than standard soda lime silicate glass. The research team recently filed a patent application as a first step toward bringing the product to market.

“Our goal is to make glass manufacturing sustainable for the long term,” said John Mauro, Dorothy Pate Enright Professor of Materials Science and Engineering at Penn State and lead researcher on the project. “LionGlass eliminates the use of carbon-containing batch materials and significantly lowers the melting temperature of glass.””

What sort of NIL deal can these guys get now?

 

[GrimReaper]

The benefits should be transparent to anyone.

Who knew?

 

[BobPSU92]

I don’t get it.

Glassy post

Crystal clear or amorphous?

 

[Woodpecker]

Crystal clear or amorphous?

Don't be obsidian

Glass making used to be a big deal in PA back in the day. Maybe it can make a comeback in the Commonwealth.

Yes, PPG Industries f/k/a Pittsburgh Plate Glass and the now defunct Glenshaw Glass, more known for its attachment to a landmark tax law case than its production of bottles.

......and reflective of it's worth.

Wrong glasses.

but are we e leete?

We have Leete Hall. Does that count?

Need to let Umeh know Penn State has world class research…maybe a call from Urschel will help too…

How much does it cost to produce?

Penn State research funding: $970mm. Stanford research funding: $1.3bn. (Numbers are from 2021).

but are we e leete?

I we need a real wagon master to collect a few and distribute the funds

Glass, grass, or *** nobody rides for free.

"...significantly lowers the melting temperature of glass." So now after global warming the windows are going to melt off my house. That will be a mess to clean up. Maybe I'll just use sheets of ice with mercury frames.

We suck.

tell us something we don't know

It's crystal clear!

Just run your air conditioner 24/7/365

In the past, Pennsylvania had a significant presence in the glass-making and clothing industry, and there's potential for a revival of this industry in the Commonwealth.

Both glasses are completely full. 1/2 full of liquid and 1/2 full of air
