Makes toughened glass shatter spontaneously.

Astonishing really, a single 100um particle changes phase after
10 years and an entire window comes showering down from the 11th
floor. Beats a butterfly beating its wings in China causing storm
in Harrogate.

Thankfully I live the "other" side of Starbeck to Harrogate. No storms
here, thanks... I think butterflies have too much freedom anyway, they
shouldn't be kept where their behaviour can affect somewhere several
thousand miles away.

Just like politicians, in that respect...
