Micro-embossing Equipment for Precision Optical Microstructures [image] | EurekAlert! Science News

The world of optical fabrication is about to change...

The Hong Kong Polytechnic University (PolyU) has developed a novel micro-embossing equipment for manufacturing precision glass lenses with high image quality and resolution required for state-of-the-art optical instruments and devices in varied fields - from astronomy, national defence, medical scanning, to consumer products such as cameras and mobile phones. The invention can emboss ultra-precise optical microstructures in glass in a much environmentally friendly way than conventional machines, saving electric power by 60 times and reducing manufacturing cost by two-thirds.

How Corning, New York, Changed the World With Glass

Multi media article on Corning's 150th Anniversay...
"When Edison first commissioned Corning Glass to manufacture light bulbs, in the early 1880s, the means to produce them was limited. Skilled glassblowers had to make each one by hand, at a rate of only two per minute. It wasn’t until the 1921 invention of the Corning Ribbon Machine, by William J. Woods and David E. Gray, that this would change. In just a few years, the new machine was able to pump out 300 lightbulbs in the same amount of time it had previously taken to produce just two. Suddenly, light bulbs were cheap and accessible enough for widespread use. The world lit up."

Advanced materials: processing glass like a polymer

Scientists discover a new way to process glass with Glassomers. Essentially, a "softer" pure quartz glass at room temperature that can be machined or shaped by conventional machining and then hardened by sintering in a furnace.

Pure quartz glass is highly transparent and resistant to thermal, physical, and chemical impacts. These are optimum prerequisites for use in optics, data technology or medical engineering. For efficient, high-quality machining, however, adequate processes are lacking. Scientists of Karlsruhe Institu... ... See more
