cenchempics: PYREX TURNS 100Corning is spending this year celebrating the 100th anniversary of the commercial launch of Pyrex, arguably one of the most important technological developments in the history of materials science. In this company archive photo, a Corning glassblower puts the finishing touches on a vacuum adapter for a piece of Pyrex lab equipment. But Pyrex isn’t just important inside the lab. The material has been used to make baking dishes, coffee mugs, and even the windows of spacecraft.
