Especially the kind that doesn&rsquo;t just shatter into a million deadly shards? Well, get ready for a cool little story about how your car&rsquo;s windshield and so many other windows became super safe, all thanks to a totally unexpected accident!</p> <p>Imagine you&rsquo;re in a chemistry lab, back in 1903. You&rsquo;re a French chemist named Édouard Bénédictus, just doing your thing, probably juggling flasks or something (okay, maybe not juggling, but definitely busy!). You accidentally knock a glass flask off your bench. <em>Smash!</em> Or, well, <em>almost</em> smash.</p>
