Glass Science
Corning leverages 170 years of expertise in glass science to help improve scientists’ understanding of the fundamental nature of glass, down to the molecular level. Deep research, relentless experimentation, and constant innovation have helped create advanced, glass-based solutions for some of industry’s toughest problems. This includes large, thin, sheets of pristine glass for liquid crystal displays, as well as tough cover glass for mobile consumer electronics. At the same time, we also use glass science to continually re-invent optical fiber for new applications, deliver higher performance, and reduce costs. Today, Corning is also using its glass science expertise to create next-generation pharmaceutical packaging and automotive glass for the interiors and exteriors of vehicles. It wasn’t until companies like Corning began investing in dedicated research and development that advanced glass solutions became a powerful force in shaping industries and transforming lives.
