An old story about glass goes something like this: A glassmaker, providing his wares to the Roman emperor Tiberius, handed over a bowl for assessment. The development of Valor Glass started in 2011, when Corning’s scientists were working to transform medical vials, which had not changed significantly for a century. Afterward, the glass is washed, and the outside is offered a polymer covering, so that bottles don’t grind against one another on a filling line, creating glass dust that can mess up dosages.
