• Materials scienceCompared with: Glass shows that useful solids need not have crystalline structure.

• CeramicCompared with: Glass is a ceramic-related material whose disordered structure distinguishes it from crystalline ceramics.

• SiliconRelated: Silica derived from silicon is the principal network former in ordinary glass.

• FeldsparRelated: Feldspar supplies alumina and alkalis in some glass formulations.

• Borosilicate glassNarrower topic: Borosilicate glass is one composition within the wider family of glasses.

• Stained glassNarrower topic: Stained glass uses glass’s transparency, colorability, and ability to be cut into pieces.

• Food-contact materialsRelated: It provides a durable, comparatively inert contact surface for many foods.

• CorundumCompared with: Glass lacks corundum’s ordered crystal structure and is much easier to scratch.

• OrthoclaseRelated: Feldspar is used as a source of alumina and alkalis in some glass batches.

• Mineral speciesCompared with: Natural glass can resemble a mineral but lacks its defining crystal structure.

• BorateNarrower topic: Borates modify glass structure and can change its durability, thermal behavior, and optical properties.

• BrittlenessBroader topic: Ordinary glass illustrates how a strong material can still fracture in a brittle way.

• SandRelated: Silica sand is a major raw material for many kinds of glass.

• Sodium oxideNarrower topic: Sodium oxide is a network modifier in many commercial glasses.

• FiberglassNarrower topic: Fiberglass retains glass’s chemical durability while reshaping it into flexible filaments.

• Potassium oxideRelated: Potassium oxide can serve as a modifier in some glass compositions.

• UlexiteRelated: Borates obtained from ulexite can be used in specialty glasses.

• Fused quartzNarrower topic: Melting quartz and cooling it without crystallization produces fused quartz.

• Glass artNarrower topic: Its composition and physical behavior govern how glass artworks can be shaped and finished.

• Wine glassNarrower topic: Most wine glasses are made from glass, though other materials are also used.

• Wood ashRelated: Plant ash has supplied alkali fluxes that lower the melting temperature of glass mixtures.

• Beer glasswareNarrower topic: Most beer glasses are made from glass because it is transparent and washable.
