Super-stable glass may aid drug delivery through the body

Back to article | Note about images

A new type of glass may one day be used to deliver medicines inside the body.

A type of glass created by researchers at the University of Wisconsin-Madison using a new vapor-deposition method is extremely stable. The rainbow of colors in this super-stable glass comes from variations in its thickness.
