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. It ...

Transparent wood that is ‘lighter and stronger than glass’ could create energy-saving windows ‘It can be potentially used to make a see-through house,’ researchers say Anthony Cuthbertson ...

Scientists transform wood from balsa trees into a transparent state that could someday replace conventional glass. The innovation is said to be stronger and five times more thermally efficient.

This slice of semi-transparent wood is made with natural materials and could be used in applications from wearable sensors to energy-efficient windows. SAN DIEGO, March 26, 2025 — Can you ...

Windows could be made from transparent, renewable 'wood', according to Swedish researchers. A team from the KTH Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm have created what they describe as ...

Transparent wood could soon be used in "super-strong screens for smartphones", said Knowable Magazine, as well as "in soft, glowing light fixtures" and even "color-changing windows".

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 ...

Today, transparent wood can be produced in a number of ways, but most are based on a process called deligninification. Wood is made up of two major components: cellulose and lignin.
