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.


Ah, so it's a butterfly's fault I got caught in a shower on Thursday then.
