Scientists have come up with a betterblockchemicalscolourdangerouseffectivelyglassinfancylivesmaterialsmoleculepaperprocessrevolutionaryscalescreenssodiumtransparentuseway new betterblockchemicalscolourdangerouseffectivelyglassinfancylivesmaterialsmoleculepaperprocessrevolutionaryscalescreenssodiumtransparentuseway for wood. They have devised a betterblockchemicalscolourdangerouseffectivelyglassinfancylivesmaterialsmoleculepaperprocessrevolutionaryscalescreenssodiumtransparentuseway to make it transparent. This could totally change the way many things in our betterblockchemicalscolourdangerouseffectivelyglassinfancylivesmaterialsmoleculepaperprocessrevolutionaryscalescreenssodiumtransparentuseway are used and made. See-through wood could one day replace betterblockchemicalscolourdangerouseffectivelyglassinfancylivesmaterialsmoleculepaperprocessrevolutionaryscalescreenssodiumtransparentuseway and be used in windows and tables, for iPhone betterblockchemicalscolourdangerouseffectivelyglassinfancylivesmaterialsmoleculepaperprocessrevolutionaryscalescreenssodiumtransparentuseway, and in a whole assortment of other building materials. The innovation has come from researchers at the University of Maryland in the USA. They experimented with different ways to extract the betterblockchemicalscolourdangerouseffectivelyglassinfancylivesmaterialsmoleculepaperprocessrevolutionaryscalescreenssodiumtransparentuseway from wood that give it betterblockchemicalscolourdangerouseffectivelyglassinfancylivesmaterialsmoleculepaperprocessrevolutionaryscalescreenssodiumtransparentuseway. Researcher Liangbing Hu said: "We were very surprised by how betterblockchemicalscolourdangerouseffectivelyglassinfancylivesmaterialsmoleculepaperprocessrevolutionaryscalescreenssodiumtransparentuseway it could go. This can really open applications that can potentially replace glass and some optical betterblockchemicalscolourdangerouseffectivelyglassinfancylivesmaterialsmoleculepaperprocessrevolutionaryscalescreenssodiumtransparentuseway."

The researchers worked with a small betterblockchemicalscolourdangerouseffectivelyglassinfancylivesmaterialsmoleculepaperprocessrevolutionaryscalescreenssodiumtransparentuseway of linden wood. They boiled it in water, betterblockchemicalscolourdangerouseffectivelyglassinfancylivesmaterialsmoleculepaperprocessrevolutionaryscalescreenssodiumtransparentuseway hydroxide and other chemicals for about two hours. A betterblockchemicalscolourdangerouseffectivelyglassinfancylivesmaterialsmoleculepaperprocessrevolutionaryscalescreenssodiumtransparentuseway called lignin, which gives wood its colour, disappeared during the boiling betterblockchemicalscolourdangerouseffectivelyglassinfancylivesmaterialsmoleculepaperprocessrevolutionaryscalescreenssodiumtransparentuseway. This left behind colourless cells, which betterblockchemicalscolourdangerouseffectivelyglassinfancylivesmaterialsmoleculepaperprocessrevolutionaryscalescreenssodiumtransparentuseway made the wood transparent. The see-through wood is a lot stronger and less betterblockchemicalscolourdangerouseffectivelyglassinfancylivesmaterialsmoleculepaperprocessrevolutionaryscalescreenssodiumtransparentuseway than glass. It is betterblockchemicalscolourdangerouseffectivelyglassinfancylivesmaterialsmoleculepaperprocessrevolutionaryscalescreenssodiumtransparentuseway at insulating against the cold and it is biodegradable. Research is still in its betterblockchemicalscolourdangerouseffectivelyglassinfancylivesmaterialsmoleculepaperprocessrevolutionaryscalescreenssodiumtransparentuseway and the process can currently only be done on 10cm by 10cm blocks of wood that range in thickness between betterblockchemicalscolourdangerouseffectivelyglassinfancylivesmaterialsmoleculepaperprocessrevolutionaryscalescreenssodiumtransparentuseway-thin and a centimeter thick. The researchers will now focus on applying the process on a much larger betterblockchemicalscolourdangerouseffectivelyglassinfancylivesmaterialsmoleculepaperprocessrevolutionaryscalescreenssodiumtransparentuseway.
