Share

The research lab behind the creation of see-through wood has developed a new type of material that could be used as a cheaper, stronger and more environmentally friendly insulator. Theyre calling it nanowood and it insulates better than Styrofoam and silica aerogels. This can insulate better than most other current thermal insulators, including Styrofoam, Tian Li, a researcher on the project, said in a statement. It is extremely promising to be used as energy efficient building ma…<...
