A close-up look at the transparent wood created by Dr. Lars Berglund and co-authors (Photo Credit: KTH Royal Institute of Technology)

Wood has many great properties that make it the perfect building material — It is cheap, durable, easily available, and most importantly, environmentally sustainable. The one thing it is not, is transparent! Now thanks to a team of scientists at Stockholm's KTH Royal Institute of Technology the versatile material may even be able to add that attribute to its already impressive list.

        I think this was a good article if we don't have air we will die because we need air to breath. we do need to stop using al the wood or we will die. we should use rocks or brick instead of wood!!!!this was real cool too

          I think we should continue using grass! I don't really get one thing. What's the point of making another worse material replacing a better material!

            I like this because this is cool, but why use wood? If we use up all the trees, we wont have any oxygen left. We wont breathe and die. And also, wood is flammable, and we have enough fires already. Just use 1 tree, they are pretty big. This is a bad idea.

              I don't think this is a good idea we already waste trees enough why can't they use something else but no scientists always mess the world up.

                I agree, scientists r really going to mess up the economy. A really funny quote I read once said "New technology is only more efficient ways to go backwards" this fits in perfectly with the situation

                OK, This is cool and everything, but by doing this we are cutting down the trees that give us oxygen. And we are destroying animals habitats! The last things is wood is very flammable so we can burn the building down with the windows! The only cool thing is that people found out how to made a solid transparent. Is this a good idea or a bad idea?

                  Why are you people using so much wood? If we do that, then people will not be able to use the wood. It is better to use one tree with out transparency then using 10 trees. #Save Trees

                    that is cool, but it will make trees more scarce, and we will live like The Lorax. thats not good. What I am shocked about though, is that is is stronger than real wood, and is thinner. Wow
