There appears to be nothing to prevent studying the behavior of glass powder after grinding and firing. Receiving a salary from mixed funds is permissible. Even if the salary comes from companies that sell alcohol and are owned by a non-Muslim, it is also permissible, based on the saying of Ibn al-Qayyim: "If the People of the Book exchanged the price of alcohol for the price of a sold item, or a rental, or a loan, it would be permissible for a Muslim to take it, and it would be pure for him."
