I love when real tech is crazier than stuff I tried to imagine
What if your future windows weren’t made of glass—but wood? 🌲 Scientists in Sweden have engineered a groundbreaking material: transparent wood. By removing lignin from balsa wood and replacing it with a renewable polymer, researchers have created a crystal-clear alternative to glass that’s 75% lighter, won’t shatter, and offers better insulation.
It even transmits 90% of visible light while blocking heat-causing infrared rays—making it perfect for energy-efficient buildings. This sustainable marvel could soon show up in homes, greenhouses, and solar panels, proving that innovation can grow straight from nature itself.
