Do you feel lucky plank? Meet the new 'bulletproof' wood
InventWood has developed "Superwood," a modified wood claimed to be stronger than steel, potentially suitable for military applications like battlefield shelters. Engineered wood products like Superwood are being explored as alternatives to traditional materials like concrete in construction due to their strength and sustainability. Other companies worldwide are also developing engineered wood products, such as Pollmeier's BauBuche and 3RT in Australia, expanding the design possibilities for architects and designers looking to incorporate wood in buildings.
