Breakthrough process welds metal and glass using ultrafast lasers

Traditionally, welding has been limited to materials that share similar properties, so it's tough to make even aluminum and steel join forces. But now, scientists from Heriot-Watt University are claiming a breakthrough method that can weld together materials as different as glass and metal, thanks to ultrafast laser pulses.
