LIST OF HEADINGS iA former glass technology ii, Computers and their dependence ii, Architectural experiments with glass on glass iv. Exciting innovations in bre optics. —-v._Everyday uses of glass SUYEN THI ONLINE (200 OTTO CHANNE] 2a ‘huyén Anh & HSG cée 0 Glass, in one form or another, has long been in noble service to humans as one of the most widely used of manufactured materials, and certainly the most versatile, it can be as imposing as a telescope mirror the width of a tennis court or as small and simple as a marble rolling across dirt. The uses of this adaptable material have been broadened dramatically by new technologies glass fibre optics - more than eight million miles - carrying telephone and television signals across nations, glass ceramics serving as the nose cones of missiles and as crowns for teeth; tiny glass beads taking radiation doses inside the body to specific organs, even a new type of glass fashioned of nuclear waste in order to dispose of that unwanted material. GLASS CAPTURING THE DANCE OF LIGHT 1. Paragraph 2. Paragraph B: On the horizon are optical computers. These could store programs and process information by means of light - pulses from tiny lasers - rather than electrons, And the pulses would travel over glass fibres, not copper wire. These machines could function hundreds of times faster than today’s electronic computers and hold vastly more information. Today fibre optics are used to obtain a clearer image of smaller and ‘smaller objects than ever before - even bacterial 81 viruses. A new generation of optical instruments is emerging that can provide detailed imaging of the inner workings Of cells. It is the surge in fibre optic use and in liquid crystal displays that has set the U.S. glass industry (a 16 billion dollar business employing some 150,000 workers) to building new plants to meet demand. 3. Paragraph C But itis not only in technology and commerce that glass has widened its horizons. The use of glass as art, a tradition spins back at least to Roman times, is also booming. Nearly everywhere, it seems, men and women are blowing glass and creating works of art. “I didn't sell a piece of glass until 1975", Dale Chihuly said, smiling, for in the 18 8 | Khai giang dinh ky céc lép HSG 1, A2, B1, B2, C1_HN, C1_HCM, C1C2Otto Channel - Luyén Thi Chuyén Anh, HSG, FLYERS, KET, PET, FCE years since the end of the dry spell, he has become one of the most financially successful artists of the 20th century. He now has a new commission - a glass sculpture for the headquarters building of a pizza company - for which his fee is half a million dollars. 4. Paragraph D es But not all the glass technology that touches our lives is ultra-modern. Consider the simple light bulb; at the tum of the century most light bulbs were hand blown, and the cost of one was equivalent to half a day's pay for the average worker. In effect, the invention of the ribbon machine by Corning in the 1920s lighted a nation. The price of a bulb plunged. Small wonder that the machine has been called one of the great mechanical achievements of all time. Yet it is very simple: a narrow ribbon of molten glass travels over a moving belt of steel in which there are holes. The glass sags through the holes and into waiting moulds. Puffs of compressed air then shape the glass. In this way, the envelope of a light bulb is made by a single machine at the rate of 66,000 an hour, as compared with 1,200 a day produced by a team of four glassblowers. 5. Paragraph E: The secret of the versatility of glass lies in its interior structure. Although it is rigid, and thus like a solid, the atoms are arranged in a random disordered fashion, characteristic of a liquid. In the melting process, the atoms in the raw materials are disturbed from their normal position in the molecular ‘structure; before they can find their way back to crystalline arrangements the glass cools. This looseness in molecular structure gives the material what engineers call tremendous “formability” which allows technicians to tailor glass to whatever they need.
