5 A new generation of opticalinstruments is emerging that can providedetailed imaging of the inner workingsof cells. It is the surge in fibre optic useand in liquid crystal displays that has setthe glass industry (a 16 billion dollarbusiness employing some 150,000workers) to building new plants to But it is not only in technology andcommerce that glass has widened itshorizons. The use of glass as art, atradition spins back at least to Romantimes, is also booming. Nearlyeverywhere, it seems, men and womenare blowing glass and creating works ofart. I didn t sell a piece of glass until1975, Dale Chihuly said, smiling, forin the 18 years since the end of the dryspell, he has become one of the mostfinancially successful artists of the 20thcentury. He now has a new commission- a glass sculpture for the headquartersbuilding of a pizza company - for whichhis fee is half a million But not all the glass technology thattouches our lives is the simple light bulb; at the turnof the century most light bulbs were handblown, and the cost of one was equivalentto half a day s pay for the average effect, the invention of the ribbonmachine by Corning in the 1920s lighteda nation.

6 The price of a bulb wonder that the machine has beencalled one of the great mechanicalachievements of all time. Yet it is verysimple: a narrow ribbon of molten glasstravels over a moving belt of steel inwhich there are holes. The glass sagsthrough the holes and into waitingmoulds. Puffs of compressed air thenshape the glass. In this way, the envelopeof a light bulb is made by a singlemachine at the rate of 66,000 an hour, ascompared with 1,200 a day produced bya team of four The secret of the versatility of glass liesin its interior structure. Although it isrigid, and thus like a solid, the atoms arearranged in a random disordered fashion,characteristic of a liquid. In the meltingprocess, the atoms in the raw materialsare disturbed from their normal positionin the molecular structure; before theycan find their way back to crystallinearrangements the glass cools.

7 Thislooseness in molecular structure givesthe material what engineers calltremendous formability which allowstechnicians to tailor glass to whateverthey Today, scientists continue to experimentwith new glass mixtures and buildingdesigners test their imaginations withapplications of special types of glass. ALondon architect, Mike Davies, seeseven more dramatic buildings usingmolecular chemistry. Glass is the greatbuilding material of the future, the dynamic skin , he said. Think of glassthat has been treated to react to electriccurrents going through it, glass that willchange from clear to opaque at the pushof a button, that gives you instantcurtains. Think of how the tall buildingsin New York could perform a symphonyof colours as the glass in them is madeto change colours instantly. Glass asinstant curtains is available now, but thecost is exorbitant. As for the glasschanging colours instantly, that maycome true.

10 But of course farfewer of them apply for these study, by recruitment consultants NBSelection, shows that while one in sixmen who appear on interview shortlistsget jobs, the figure rises to one in fourfor The study concentrated on applicationsfor management positions in the $45,000to $110,000 salary range and found thatwomen are more successful than men inboth the private and public sectors DrElisabeth Marx from London-based NBSelection described the findings as85 Rreadingencouraging for women, in that they senda positive message to them to apply forinteresting management positions. Butshe added, We should not lose sight ofthe fact that significantly fewer womenapply for senior positions in comparisonwith men. C Reasons for higher success rates amongwomen are difficult to isolate. Oneexplanation suggested is that if a womancandidate manages to get on a shortlist,then she has probably already provedherself to be an exceptional Marx said that when women applyfor positions they tend to be betterqualified than their male counterparts butare more selective and conservative intheir job search.
