Corning, the maker of Gorilla Glass, has routinely made your smartphone's screen better and more damage-resistant, but the company is about to take things to a whole other level. Taking the stage at the MIT Mobile Technology Summit, Corning showed off new display technology that goes far beyond screen protection. Its new Gorilla Glass will feature anti-microbial coating, which will kill virtually all microbes on the screen's surface over two hours. It's not an instant clean, but it's better than carrying around a filthy phone in your pocket all day. The new Gorilla Glass will also make your phone's screen way more transparent, which means checking your phone in broad daylight is going to be much, much easier. We've all tried to read an e-mail on our phone in a parking lot on a bright summer day - it just doesn't work. Thanks to Corning, borrowing a phone from a friend in the future will not only be a far better - and less icky - experience.
