This research describes a new type of glass with H-bonding networks, suggesting a sustainable alternative for recycling.
Programmable noncovalent glass was achieved by Xuehai Yan et al. in their Research Article (e202517982), through dynamically reconfigurable H-bonding networks derived from natural building blocks. It redefines glass as an active medium with encoded structural logic and enables energy-efficient closed-loop recycling, offering an environmentally adaptive and molecularly tunable alternative to conventional glass.
