			<![CDATA[There's an interesting development in making wood stronger. See the overviews at<br /><br /><a href="https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/stronger-than-steel-able-to-stop-a-speeding-bullet-mdash-it-rsquo-s-super-wood/" target="_self" rel="nofollow">https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/stronger-than-steel-able-to-stop-a-speeding-bullet-mdash-it-rsquo-s-super-wood/</a><br /><br /><a href="https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-018-01371-0" target="_self" rel="nofollow">https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-018-01371-0</a><br /><br />and the actual article is at <a href="https://www.nature.com/articles/nature25476" target="_self" rel="nofollow">https://www.nature.com/articles/nature25476</a> but behind a paywall <img src="/newforum/extensions/Vanillacons/smilies/standard/sad.gif" alt=":sad:" title=":sad:" /><br /><br />There's the abstract of an apparently fairly similar but different process at <a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/29373784" target="_self" rel="nofollow">https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/29373784</a> but again the article is behind a paywall <img src="/newforum/extensions/Vanillacons/smilies/standard/cry.gif" alt=":cry:" title=":cry:" /><br /><br />Perhaps in a few months the articles will be available and perhaps there'll be a better idea of how practical the work is? <img src="/newforum/extensions/Vanillacons/smilies/standard/devil.gif" alt=":devil:" title=":devil:" />]]>
