I wonder what happens if you put two pieces on top of each other - or if the molecular bonding process that the surfaces need to be in very close contact (is in the line of a fracture.

Shame it can't 'heal' that air bubble at the fracture line, and I'm no expert when it comes to patents but wasn't this invented in 1975?
Seems a great idea but both above posts are valid. Also my screen has a crack in it and the above demo videos all show that the crack is still visible
Old puter - still good enuff till I save some pennies!
Dawn of space age glass is upon us.
Video has comments disabled is suspicious. Cut in the video between bond and weight test suspicious. Would like to see a breaking point test of the material strength before and after joining
Why would anyone need space glass as a safety feature when you can have an 8K exterior camera and a video wall? Not to let in sunshine as it would just blind you anyway.
Might be useful for something like car windscreens if they can get it clear enough.
Could this be the end of Autoglass.........
No more ‘Autoglass repair Autoglass replace’ annoying jingle.
possibly, but it might not be allowed. I thought they went for toughened glass because you could smash it and get out, and in a crash it stopped the whole windshield popping out and acting like a battering ram. Plus it avoided the glass-collar decapitations that annealed glass shields used to create. Not a nice way to go. How laminate would fit into all that and compliance with the relevant crash regs I just don't know.
