So much of research have been carried out on glass science and technology, but it is sad to see that none have won a nobel prize prize till date.
what could be the possible reason?
Richard A. Zsigmondy received the Nobel prize in 1925 for his work on colloids - parts of his work has been on glass e.g. Jenaer milkglass and red ruby glass.
Maybe because there is no standard award for glass science as it is in other fields like medicine, chemistry, etc. Someone should make a suggestion to the Nobel committee?
I agree with Dr. Michael. Probably the satellite of the noble prizes have not chanced on glass research despite its great scientific technology! It must be suggested to the committee.
They did. Charles K. Kao obtained Nobel prize in 2009 for his research in the field of optical fibers.

Alexander B. Missyul' is correct regarding Charles Kao sharing the 2009 Physics Nobel which I believe is the prize most closely related to glass science:

The 1977 Physics Nobel is also strongly related to glass:

and thank you Stefan for pointing out about the 1925 Chemistry Nobel for which I was not aware of the relation to glass science

this video contains a Nobel prize is awarded to Charles K. Kao in glass research.
becuse htey could not find out the importance of glass in our life. nowadays glass is apart of life. and i think it s must be say to nubel committe.
