There's a new glass in town. The glass, developed with the
help of a unique NASA levitator facility, is available for
numerous commercial applications including lasers and
optical communications.

"We have patented a family of new glasses and have
established processes for making and using them in
practical applications," said Dr. Richard (Rick) Weber,
director of the Glass Products Division of Containerless
Research Inc., the small company that invented and produces
the glass in Evanston, Ill. "We're already making
commercial quantities of glass rods and plates for use in
lasers," he said.
