This material is called Prince Rupert by scientists.
Traditional gunheads are usually made of metal, such as lead, copper, etc. For non-lethal warheads, it is often used with rubber, plastic and other materials.
Block metal glass materials have shown promise in engineering for more than 15 years but often have poor flexibility and toughness, and make them brittle and fragile. Bu…
