With new technological advancements they now use a screen made of thin, yet strong material called “Gorilla Glass”. When “compared to other brands of glass Corning’s Gorilla Glass is particularly: hard, thin, lightweight, and scratch resistant.”
According to Anne Marie Helmenstine, “The glass consists of a thin sheet of alkali-aluminosilicate.” The glass is then “strengthened using an ion-exchange process which forces large ions into the spaces between molecules on the glass surface.”
The process in which Gorilla Glass is made isn’t quite complex, according to their site it consists of getting high quality raw materials, melt it together to create high grade molten
