Engineered from natural timber, this "superwood" isn't just hype—it’s a sustainable breakthrough. Developed by researchers at the University of Maryland and commercialized by InventWood, this material boasts a tensile strength 50 times greater than steel while remaining incredibly lightweight. What makes it revolutionary? The process strips away lignin (the stiffening compound in wood) and compresses the fibers into a dense structure, enhancing durability while reducing environmental impact. It’s also carbon negative, fire- and rot-resistant, and even stands up to ballistic impact—ideal for everything from construction to armor panels. Production kicks off this year in Maryland with a capacity of 1 million square feet, expanding to 30 million soon after. As the world shifts toward greener materials, superwood may redefine how we build cities, vehicles, and even consumer products. #Superwood #GreenTech #SustainableInnovation #MaterialsScience #FutureOfConstruction
