Today, scientists report a new kind of transparent wood that not only transmits light, but also absorbs and releases heat, potentially saving on energy costs. Wood may seem more at home in log ...

By bleaching away the pigments in plant cells, Siegfried Fink managed to create transparent ... tree is harvested and the moisture evaporates, pockets of air are left behind. To create see-through ...

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 ...

Researchers at the University of Maryland have turned ordinary sheets of wood into transparent material that is nearly as clear as glass, but stronger and with better insulating properties.

Researchers are working on creating transparent wood that would be a viable alternative ... that transport water and nutrients throughout a tree together and helps give the tree its brown color.

An engineered transparent wood that can trap heat and then release it when needed could be the next trendy building material. The new kind of wood not only transmits light, but is also able to ...

Transparent wood has been reported in Woodworking Network for years, but now new research has taken the concept a step further. Researchers at the University of Colorado has developed a see ...

Engineers demonstrate in a new study that windows made of transparent wood could provide more even and consistent natural lighting and better energy efficiency than glass. Engineers at the A.

A sheet of transparent new material at a University of Maryland lab looks like it might be plastic. But it’s actually wood—and it could eventually be used to make energy-efficient windows or ...
