Corning is hoping to address the problem of germ and bacteria build up on smartphone glass surfaces with their latest product - Antimicrobial Gorilla Glass 3. Unveiled at CES Corning has demonstrated the germ-busting technology much to the delight of smartphone users, by putting into action a 11-month old idea discussed by them. Corning has infused ions of silver, a common antibacterial agent, directly into the chemically-strengthened glass. Corning says it can rebuff up to 99.9 percent of certain bacteria that are found in abundance on the phone screen. While it doesn't do away with finger smudges, it helps prevent germ build up on the glass surface.
