The super wood that rivals steel

And if wood could be as strong as steel, resistant to fire, water, pests and still retain all the natural charm we know, it seems impossible but a startup from the United States has just made this a reality with Superwood, a material that promises to revolutionize the construction industry and challenge the dominance of steel and concrete.

Developed by Invent Wood of Maryland, Superwood is the result of a transformation at the molecular level led by scientist Yang Bingu of the University of Marynand, the process involves the selective elimination of components of natural wood, followed by a compression under controlled conditions, the result, a biogenic compound with a resistance up to 12 times greater than the original wood and a strength-to-weight ratio 10 times greater than steel.

In addition to being fire resistant, the material repels water, that is rot and pest proof, meaning Superwood combines structural safety with advanced weather, impact and degradation resistance properties, Its local manufacturing in the United States minimizes logistical risks and reduces the carbon footprint, while its superior performance promises greater durability and less maintenance in architectural and structural applications.

The manufacture of the new material depends on advanced engineering processes with precise control and testing in simulated environments, reinforcing how the union between materials science and automation is creating new frontiers in the construction industry, according to the startup Superwood is being prepared for high-level residential and commercial applications and for urban infrastructure resilient to climate change.
