Researchers have developed a type of transparent wood to make future displays

Researchers have developed a type of transparent wood that could be used in smartphone screens and windows in the future.

According to Tekna technology and technology news service, the porous structure of wood can change during chemical and physical changes and be used for some optical, thermal, mechanical and ionic properties. For this reason, researchers have used some new strategies to modify wood in order to achieve this goal. The new transparent wood can be used in various cases, including screens for smartphones and soft and bright light fixtures, becoming a versatile tool. It can also be used in windows with the ability to change color.

In this method, the researchers used Siegfried Fink's method and by removing the pigments from the wood plant cells, they turned it into transparent wood. There are vertical canals like a straw in the soles of the feet, which are closed together. These cells are responsible for transporting water and nutrients inside the tree. These cells remain as air holes when the tree is cut and water evaporates. The researchers first removed the glue in these tissues, leaving only a hollow milky framework. To keep these cells transparent, epoxy resin is used to bend the light with a degree of transparency similar to the cell walls and make the wood transparent.
