Now, a team of researchers from Central South University of Forestry and Technology (CSUFT) in China has pushed the limits of ...

The millimeter-thick paperboard behaves just like plastic; it's strong, transparent, shapeable—and can hold boiling water.

Transparent wood, made by stripping organic polymers and replacing them with a mixture of egg whites and rice extract, could be used as windows and smartphone screens ...

They describe the material as tPB, a transparent 3D material made solely of cellulose. Testing of the material showed it worked as well as standard drinking straws, with no signs of the collapse ...

It isn’t totally transparent, either. The material looks like a mirror, but a laser on one side will make a partial appearance on the other side. What’s interesting here, though, is the ...

By using transparent materials such as conductive oxides, polymers, and nanomaterials, researchers aim to create electronic components that can be seamlessly integrated into displays, windows, and ...

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 ...

A team of researchers searching for safe, sustainable, and biodegradable alternatives to plastics presented a new type of transparent material at the American Chemical Society (ACS) spring meeting, ...
