In this enlightening episode of "The Short Answer," presented by ScienceABC, we explore the fascinating properties and differences between the types of glass used in our everyday lives. Ever noticed how car window glass shatters into tiny granules while your windshield stays mostly intact? We dive into the science behind these observations by examining tempered glass and laminated glass. Discover how unique manufacturing processes give each type of glass its distinct characteristics and practical applications. Whether it's the glass in your smartphone, car, or skyscraper, you'll gain a deeper appreciation for this everyday material’s innovative design and remarkable strength. Join us as we answer the question: "Why Does Car Window Glass Shatter into Tiny Granules?"
