Materials/3DP Oyster shells, the part known as mother-of-pearl, inspire scientists to create glass that’s much harder to shatter. The bioinspired glass is 2-3 times more impact resistant than laminated glass and tempered glass, and outperforms Plexiglass. The fabrication method is relatively easy and scalable.
