American manufacturer Corning Incorporated demonstrated live at CES 2012 the robustness and integrity of its successor to Gorilla Glass. Called Gorilla Glass 2, the new material can be 20 percent thinner than its predecessor yet retain the same hardness and resistance abilities.

Ultimately, Gorilla Glass 2 can lead to even thinner smartphones and tablets without sacrificing durability for attractiveness. According to Corning, the manufacturer is already in talks with certain clients on integrating the new technology on devices for release in the next few months. The original Gorilla Glass is almost ubiquitous in today's world of gadgetry and its successor is looking to be following in similar footsteps.

After graduating with a B.S. in environmental hydrodynamics from the University of California, I studied reactor physics to become licensed by the U.S. NRC to operate nuclear reactors. There's a striking level of appreciation you gain for everyday consumer electronics after working with modern nuclear reactivity systems astonishingly powered by computers from the 80s. When I'm not managing day-to-day activities and US review articles on Notebookcheck, you can catch me following the eSports scene and the latest gaming news.
