The compounds then react with the surface, creating a thin deposit of the desired material on the surface.ĭuring regular glass formation, extra energy is trapped in the glass by the temperature transitions of the annealing process. It involves vaporizing carefully chosen chemical compounds and exposing them to a substrate, or surface. The suggested technique resembles Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD) - a highly controlled method used to make thin films for microelectronics and nanotechnology applications. However, the study suggests that much stronger glass could be made with a different technique. Manufacturers cool the glass by a few hundred degrees, work it into the desired shape, and then slowly cool the glass to a solid through a process called annealing.Īccording to calculations by Wolynes and Wisitsorasak, manufacturers are pushing this technique to its limits for producing strong glass. Glass is traditionally made by fusing together silica (which comes from sand), sodium carbonate (which lowers the melting point of the silica), and calcium oxide (also known as lime, which makes the glass more chemically stable) at high temperatures.

The different molecular structures for crystals (crystalline), solids containing many microscopic crystals (polycrystalline), and amorphous solids like glass. These bond strengths can vary with different materials and manufacturing techniques, according to Wolynes’s theory. The strength of a particular type of glass depends on the bonds between the molecules in the glass. In glass, the molecules freeze in a random arrangement. In a normal solid, the molecules freeze in a regular, crystalline pattern. When cooled, the glass molecules freeze in place, similar to the molecules in a normal solid, but there’s one important difference. The molecules in warm glass behave just like a liquid - randomly flowing and vibrating. With some modifications to the model, the scientists were able to accurately predict the ultimate strength of any type of glass. Wolynes hadn’t applied the model to glass strength until now, however. The study was based on a mathematical model of how glass forms that Wolynes developed more than twenty years ago. They found that you may be able to double the strength of glass just by changing how it is made! Stronger glass could lead to more durable screens for electronic devices, safer window panes, and more effective protection for emergency responders and the military. In a recent theoretical study at Rice University, Peter Wolynes and his graduate student Apiwat Wisitsorasak explored the physical limit of the strength of glass. You could also have used the ID value to add the effect: /effect DigMinecraft 12 30 60īoth commands would result in DigMinecraft having the Fire Resistance effect for 30 seconds.Glass is strong but shows potential to be stronger, according to theoretical work by researchers at Rice University. In this example, fire_resistance is the name of the effect, 30 is the number of seconds that the effect will last, and 60 is the amplifier. You can give a player an effect (ie: potion effect) that is either helpful or harmful by using the /effect command.įor example, you can use the /effect command to give the player DigMinecraft the effect called Fire Resistance for 30 seconds: /effect DigMinecraft fire_resistance 30 60 Version is the Minecraft version number that the effect was introduced for the name and ID that is listed.ID is the Internal number for the effect.Description is the description of the status effect.Status Effect is what the effect is called and ( Minecraft ID Name) is the string value used in the /effect command.Icon is the image that will appear when you have this effect.Slows down how fast you fall and eliminates fall damageīreathe underwater without using up oxygen barĭoes damage every 2 seconds (can kill player)
