Researchers Make Wood Stronger than Steel

A new super-material — stronger, lighter and cheaper than steel — has emerged from scientists' labs. It's not a high-tech nano-polymer or some new alloy. It's wood. VOA's Steve Baragona has more.

I came across your channel through this video—case studies are incredibly valuable, and I'm eager to see more in the future! Building wealth involves establishing routines, like consistently setting aside funds at regular intervals for smart investments.

All materials are useful as long as their limitations and known and understood.

My "wood" is just as hard or "harder".

Getting costs down is going to be the real challenge. I wonder which chemical pathway they use to remove the lignan.

I can only imagine all the bent nails and stripped screw heads.

Researchers need to one-up Nile Red's wood experimentation with their version.

Plastics replacement yes (a great thing by the way) for some things, but they are nowhere near being able to replace steel yet.

Could 3D printers use this this material?

[chrisgraham]

Very cool! Let us know when it's available for engineered flooring.

[paulgamez]

Is the material similar to carbonized wood for weather and fire. Could it 1 replace pressure treated material and wooden type roofing material.

[lancemillward]

knife makers used stabilised wood for handles. not stronger than steel but full with resin is very strong.

can u tell procedure of heating the wood with chemicals under what temperature it can be heated, how much time it is heated

[jeanlanz]

Amazing work by dedicated scientists. Thank you and God bless you!

I just saw nile red make this and he got it to stop a 9mm
