Why scientists are making transparent wood / The results are amazing, that a piece of wood can be as strong as glass::The material is being exploited for smartphone screens, insulated windows, and more.
I mean I hope so, I can’t normally shatter wood
I can’t normally splinter glass.
But, you can both shatter wood and splinter glass if you truly believe.
Not seeing how windows would be a good use. We already have safety glass and materials to make glass is more plentiful. Display screens make sense if the material ends up as hard as glass but won’t shatter. That would be fantastic.
We’re running out of sand.
No we aren’t. Silica is one of the most plentiful materials on earth.
Yes, we ARE running out! So much so that people are getting violent https://www.bbc.com/future/article/20191108-why-the-world-is-running-out-of-sand
