[dba-Tech] Where did Gorilla glass come from

" Don Stookey knew he had botched the experiment. One day in 1952, the
Corning Glass Works chemist placed a sample of photosensitive glass inside a
furnace and set the temperature to 600 degrees Celsius. At some point during
the run, a faulty controller let the temperature climb to 900 degrees C.
Expecting a melted blob of glass and a ruined furnace, Stookey opened the
door to discover that, weirdly, his lithium silicate had transformed into a
milky white plate. When he tried to remove it, the sample slipped from the
tongs and crashed to the floor. Instead of shattering, it bounced. "
