Gorilla Glass, a breakthrough innovation, enhances glass’s strength and scratch resistance through an ion exchange process. This method, which replaces smaller sodium atoms with larger potassium atoms, creates a surface under compressive stress, making the glass significantly tougher without altering its appearance.
