Australia 's Curtin University researchers have created a better-glass breakthrough using just sound and salt.

Using ultrasonic waves and a salt bath, a research team has altered the surface of glass.

The new method may lead to glass made without the use of harsh chemicals for self-cleaning windshields, germ-busting surfaces, or even better beer.
