Scientist have invented a new type of transparent wood that could one day replace harmful plastics in several applications.

That fragile framework was then infused with a blend of egg whites and rice extract. The filled wood was gently dried in an ...

In a world where plastic dominates almost every part of daily life—from phones to windows—finding a sustainable alternative ...

Transparent wood, made by stripping organic polymers and replacing them with a mixture of egg whites and rice extract, could ...

Researchers have found a way to make transparent wood that doesn't rely on plastics, and it could be scaled up to work in ...

Can you imagine a smartphone with a wooden touchscreen? Or a house with wooden windows? Probably not—unless you've heard of ...

TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - A group of researchers is developing transparent woods made almost entirely of natural materials such as ...

Date palm wood fibre (DPWF) is a promising biodegradable alternative given its natural insulating properties and its abundance: 200,000 tonnes are generated every year due to wastage from the date ...

Two versions of Alder have been developed: one using a blend of coffee waste and biodegradable plastic and the other utilising various wood fibres and biodegradable plastic. The Alder collection ...

Technology transforms quickly, but so does electronic waste. Millions of discarded smartphones, laptops, and accessories end up in landfills each year, contributing to environmental pollution.

This addition allowed the wood to conduct electricity, which could be useful for wearable sensors or coatings for solar cells. Silver nanowires aren't biodegradable, but the team hopes to conduct ...

While the silver nanowires aren’t biodegradable, replacements like graphene could keep the design eco-friendly. Wood window panes aren’t ready for home installation just yet. Baruah conceded ...
