Glass

Glass is a solid material made from silica (sand) combined with other ingredients like soda and lime, melted at high temperatures. It is known for being transparent, allowing light to pass through, which makes it popular for windows and containers. Glass can also be shaped into various forms and is used in many applications, from decorative items to scientific instruments. Its properties include resistance to heat and chemicals, though it can be fragile. In recent years, innovations have led to stronger and more versatile types of glass, enhancing its use in technology and architecture.
