Information
SciGlass Next is an open source project that relies on the data from SciGlass.
Simply register with your institutional email address and start exploring glass properties with a user-friendly GUI.
Note: If you really don't have an institutional email, please send us an email.
"INTERGLAD database is more convenient for specialists who use commercial glasses in practice and are to know the properties of these glasses and particular details of their usage, whereas the SciGlass database is more helpful for scientists who investigate glass properties and develop new glasses."
