Since sapphire isn't going to scratch as easily, it shouldn't crack as easily." Overall, Weissman believes sapphire should be more crack-resistant than glass, but it depends on how the display is ...

While not quite as scratch-resistant as traditional bulk sapphire – the nanostructures are comparable to tungsten or traditional glass in that way – these new sapphire nanostructures repel fog, dust ...

A protective, clear glass made from aluminum-oxide powder. More scratch resistant than Gorilla Glass, sapphire glass has been used on camera lenses, expensive watches and, for years, on the ...

A stronger display material, sapphire (it rates a 9 on the ... 3.5-times more crack resistant and 7-times more scratch resistant than Gorilla Glass. This is a fairly remarkable claim considering ...
