a brittle transparent solid with irregular atomic structure a container for holding liquids while drinking the quantity a glass will hold furnish with glass; 'glass the windows' field glass: a small refracting telescope scan (game in the forest) with binoculars enclose with glass; 'glass in a porch' methamphetamine: an amphetamine derivative (trade name Methedrine) used in the form of a crystalline hydrochloride; used as a stimulant to the nervous system and as an appetite suppressant put in a glass container looking glass: a mirror; usually a ladies' dressing mirror glassware collectively; 'She collected old glass' glaze: become glassy or take on a glass-like appearance; 'Her eyes glaze over when she is bored'
Glass is a uniform material of arguable phase, usually produced when the viscous molten material cools very rapidly to below its glass transition temperature, without sufficient time for a regular crystal lattice to form. ...
Glass is a 2003 EP by The Sea and Cake.
Glass (Dutch: Glas) is a 1958 Dutch short documentary film by director and producer Bert Haanstra. The film won the Academy Award for Documentary Short Subject in 1959.
Drinkware or Beverageware is a general term for the class of vessels from which people drink.
Glass: Pray the Electrons Back to Sand is a war novel by James Chapman, published in 1994 by Fugue State Press.
The EDM prism.
Brief or magnifying glass.
In nautical terminology, a contraction for “weather glass” (a mercury barometer).
Glass with a transparent metallic oxide coating applied onto or into a glass surface. The coating allows short-wave energy to pass through but reflects long-wave infrared energy which improves the U-Value.
Microscopically thin, virtually invisible, metal or metallic oxide layers deposited on a window or skylight glazing surface primarily to reduce the U-factor by suppressing radiative heat flow. ...
An amorphous, homogeneous material with a random, liquid-like molecular structure formed by heating the raw materials to a temperature sufficient to completely fuse them into a consistent material that, when cooled, becomes rigid without crystallizing.
An inorganic transparent material composed of silica (sand), soda (sodium carbonate), and lime (calcium carbonate) with small quantities of alumina, boric, or magnesia oxides.
The word “Glass“ refers to the solid phase of a material with no long-range molecular order. It is used almost interchangeably with “amorphous,” “non-crystalline,” and “vitreous. ...
hard, brittle, generally transparent or translucent material typically formed from the rapid cooling of liquefied minerals. Most commercial glass is made from a molten mixture of soda ash, sand, and lime.
In the days of tall ships the barometer was a glass vessel with a thin stem. The fluid in the glass (in most cases water) would move up and down the stem as the pressure of the surrounding atmosphere changed. These movements were used to predict changes in the weather.
In fiber-optic communication, any of a number of noncrystalline, amorphous inorganic substances, formed, by heating, from metallic or semiconductor oxides or halides, and used as the material for fibers. Learn more about Glass...
A transparent gauge which indicates the actual water level in a locomotive boiler. Warrant: Great Western Railway Drawing Registers Plural form: glasses (gauge)
Variously colored, hard, brittle, and transparent element.
A hard, brittle, transparent, noncrystaline substance produced by fusion of silicates containing soda and lime at very high temperatures
Glass is a hard material with non-crystalline, random structure like a liquid. It is commonly made by combining materials such as silica, potash, and lead oxide at a high temperature in order to allow the materials to melt and fuse together. When cooled rapidly, the substance becomes rigid . ...
A solid usually containing silica. Glass is formed by combining silica with fluxes (soda or salts) and stabilizers (lime or calcium oxide), that melt upon heating and cool to form a non-crystalline solid. ...
A mixture of pure silica and sand, lime and soda. Earliest quality glass was brought into Britain from France and Germany. By the 13th century many churches had glass windows but by the 15th century only the very wealthy had them in domestic buildings. ...
"The glass is rising very high - " A barometer; a high or rising reading on the ‘glass’ or barometer is often a good prediction of good weather to come.
A non-crystaline rock that results from very rapid cooling of magma.
(Hunting) The act of searching terrain for game by observing through binoculars or other magnified optics.
2-Line Digital - compares consecutive scanning lines within one field of video and makes adjustments to reduce cross-color interference. 3-Line Digital - compares 3 scanning lines within a field of video. ...
A glass developed and trademarked by Nikon Corporation, used in telephoto lenses to obtain optimum correction to help prevent chromatic aberration, improving sharpness. ...
The slight horizontal ridge formed by a surplus of glass blown into a worn crevice or joint between two parts of the mold equipment. ...
a method of high-quality sheet glass whereby a ribbon of molten glass is fed across a bath of heated liquid, usually molten tin, in a carefully controlled atmosphere. The process was developed by the UK firm Pilkington Brothers.
Fiberglass cloth empregnated with a resin to protect the core of the surfboardd.
