From protecting our most valuable works of art to enabling smartphone displays,glass has become one of our most important materials. Making it even more versatile is the next challenge. Developing modern glass compositions is largely a time-consuming, trial-and-error exercise. But now scientists own developed a way to decode the glass "genome" and design different compositions of the material without making and melting every opportunity. Their report appears in ACS' journal Chemistry of Materials.
