What are some common uses of glass mentioned in the video?

• Furniture, clothing, and food packaging

• Automobiles, airplanes, and ships

• Jewelry, toys, and musical instruments

• Windows, vision correction, and liquor bottles

What is the primary purpose of the ion exchange process in glass manufacturing?

• To change the color of the glass

• To strengthen the glass by creating compressive stress

• To increase the glass's weight

• To make the glass more transparent

What is the name of Corning's new Gorilla Glass product introduced in the video?

• Gorilla Glass Ultra

• Gorilla Glass Sapphire

• Gorilla Glass Crystal

• Gorilla Glass Victus

What is one of the key improvements in Gorilla Glass Victus?

• It is lighter than previous versions

• It offers drop protection from up to two meters

• It is available in multiple colors

• It is made from recycled materials

How does Corning enhance the compressive stress in their glass?

• By using a single ion bath

• By applying a special coating

• By giving the glass a second ion bath

• By cooling the glass rapidly

Why is sapphire glass not used in Gorilla Glass Victus?

• It is too expensive

• It is too heavy

• It is very hard but also quite brittle

• It is not transparent enough

What might phone manufacturers do to meet consumer demand for lighter devices?

• Add more protective layers

• Use a different type of glass

• Use thicker glass

• Cut down the glass to be thinner

What is a potential downside of reducing the thickness of toughened glass in phones?

• It makes the phone heavier

• It increases the phone's cost

• It decreases the glass's strength

• It reduces the phone's battery life

What is a common misconception about the durability of phones with new toughened glass?

• They are scratch-proof

• They are immune to fingerprints

• They are indestructible

• They are waterproof

What should consumers be aware of when purchasing phones with new toughened glass?

• The glass might be thinner than tested

• The glass is only available in premium models

• The glass is always the same thickness

• The glass is made from sapphire
