Alt-week 09.15.13: Record-breaking glass, nature's gears, and Hubble's huge find

Alt-week takes a look at the best science and alternative tech stories from the last seven days.

This week's alternative roundup focuses on exploration, experimentation and discovery -- both on land and in space. Here on Earth, Cornell's stumbled upon a new glass that breaks records and researchers in Europe have discovered an insect with cob wheel-styled gear joints for movement. Meanwhile, above our atmosphere, NASA's Hubble telescope made a large discovery of its own. This is alt-week.
