Have you ever encountered a hot glass cup that shatters when cold water is poured into it?

This phenomenon occurs due to the concentrated thermal strain induced by the contact between the hot glass and cold water. The inherent residual stress in the glass, combined with this local strain, can result in multiple fractures.

Awesome work @YL! 👏
