material: Superwood: better than steel?

Superwood is an engineered wood material that is significantly stronger, denser, and more durable than natural wood, making it a potential alternative to steel and other traditional materials. It is created through a process of partially removing lignin and then compressing the wood under heat to create a super-dense, reinforced structure. The result is a material that is stronger than steel, resistant to fire, pests, and rot, and lighter than steel.

"Superwood is a revolutionary material engineered to reshape the future of construction. It is stronger than steel, lighter than steel and costs less than steel - and now it is so much more than just a theory. A new company, 

InventWood has been set up and has over $50 million dollars in funding to turn their research into practical products. Superwood is Densified wood that is created through a couple of simple processes that increase it's strength while keeping the natural warmth of real wood. 

In this video, we’ll break down how Superwood is made and how it can be stronger than steel. We'll also discuss the game changing impact that it could have on the world, as well as some potential problems. 

Could Superwood really replace steel and other traditional building materials? Leave me a comment and let me know your thoughts."
