Bénédictus had in more than one area. As a scientist, he had many great inventions. For example, he had a strong spirit of exploration. He often new ideas in his lab. His mind helped him solve problems in unusual ways. He always worked hard and was never afraid of .
One day in 1903, when Bénédictus was working in his lab, something unexpected happened! He dropped a glass to the ground . To his surprise, the glass cracked (破裂), but it didn’t break into pieces. Out of , he checked it carefully.
After many experiments, Bénédictus discovered something important: if he put a thin film (薄膜) of plastic two pieces of glass, the glass would become very strong! This discovery helped him invent safety glass.
Today, people use safety glass —in cars, buildings and more. His has helped reduce the risk of people getting hurt by broken glass.
