Researchers have unveiled a radical new way to use wood - byt making it transparent. They say the breakthrough could lead to new materials for windows, and is even strong enough to use in cars. The ...

A few months ago, we looked at the work of material scientists who had managed to make a block of linden wood see-through. Altering the molecular makeup to turn timber transparent is an impressive bit ...

Scientists worldwide are developing transparent wood based on previous research. Wood nanotechnologist Qilang Fu claims it could be “as strong as glass” while letting light through it. Consequently, ...

Stronger than plastic and tougher than glass, the resin-filled material is being exploited for smartphone screens, insulated windows and more. By Jude Coleman / Knowable Magazine Published Dec 14, ...

Transparent wood is the most recent novel development that could replace conventional glass or plastic windows. While glass and plastics are transparent and can be made to provide structural support, ...

Glass windows may soon be a thing of the past. Researchers from KTH Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm have developed a transparent wood material that could change the way we construct ...

Researchers in South Korea have developed a wood-based smart window that adjusts light, blocks ...

Researchers are working on a technology that can deliver transparent wood as a more durable alternative to glass and plexiglass. Transparent wood is reportedly 10 times stronger than glass and 3 times ...

Transparent wood just got even better, moving us a step closer to windows that are far better insulators than traditional glass ones. The standard process for making wood transparent typically ...
