你可能想象，迷信木料木头比玻璃更适宜做窗户的家研质料吗？美国迷信家新研发的“透明木料”不光透明度可能媲美窗户，而且比窗户锁热能耐更强、收回术更环保、透明更耐用、或者换玻更清静也更轻。可替

　　Scientists have designed‘transparent wood’that could replace conventional glass in windows.

　　迷信家研收回了可能替换传统窗玻璃的璃玻璃技“透明木料”。

　　The迷信木料 innovation was developed using wood from the balsa tree,which is native to South and Central America,and claims to be five times more thermally efficient than glass.

　　这一缔造接管了原生于南美以及中美的巴尔沙树的木料，据称热功能比玻璃逾越五倍。家研

　　The收回术 team treated balsa wood in an oxidizing bath that bleaches it of nearly all visibility and then penetrated it with a synthetic polymer called polyvinyl alcohol(PVA)-creating a product that is virtually transparent.

　　该团队把木料泡在氧化剂里，褪去简直所有可见的透明颜色，而后注入一种名为聚乙烯醇的或者换玻分解聚合物，开拓出简直残缺透明的可替一种产物。

　　Unlike traditional glass,璃玻璃技the transparent wood can withstand much stronger impacts and will bend or splinter when damaged,instead of shattering.

　　以及传统玻璃差距，这种透明木料可能接受更强烈的迷信木料侵略，在受损时会笔直或者裂开，而不会破碎捣毁。

　　The transparent wood was created by teams at the University of Maryland and University of Colorado,which set out to find a greener alternative to conventional glass–a production that creates 25,000 tons in emissions each year.

　　这种透明木料是由美国马里兰大学以及科罗拉多大学的钻研团队开拓的，他们的初衷是找到可能替换传统玻璃的更环保的质料。玻璃产物每一年都市发生2.5万吨的排放物。

　　Along with contributing to greenhouse gases,glass contributes to a loss of energy.

　　除了制作温室气体外，玻璃还会导致能量的消散。

　　'Residential building windows in particular account for 10–25%of the heat loss due to their poor thermal management capability,’the team wrote in the study.

　　钻研团队在陈说中写道：“居夷易近楼的玻璃窗户由于锁热能耐不强，能量消散特意严正，损失的热能占到了10%到25%。”

　　'Exploring energy efficient window materials is thus highly desirable to address heating costs,energy shortages,and the global impact of climate change associated with increased carbon emissions.’

　　“因此人们极其需要探寻节能窗户质料，以处置供热老本、能源短缺下场，尚有与碳排放削减相关的天气变更激发的天下性影响。”

　　The team notes that the bonding between PVA and cellulose in the wood,creates a tightly packed structure that allows for more thermal protection and makes it more durable and lighter than glass.

　　钻研团队指出，聚乙烯醇以及木料中的纤维素散漫，缔造出一种高密度的妄想，既能更好地锁住热能，也比玻璃更耐用、更轻。

　　'Switching to transparent wood could prove to be cost efficient as well,’researchers shared in a statement.

　　钻研职员在一份申明中分享道：“事实将证实，改用透明木头还能节约老本。”

　　'It is approximately five times more thermally efficient than glass,cutting energy costs.’

　　“透明木头的热功能比玻璃逾越五倍，削减了能源老本。”

　　'It is made from a sustainable,renewable resource with low carbon emissions.It’s also compatible with existing industrial processing equipment,making the transition into manufacturing an easy prospect.’

　　“这种新质料源自碳排放量低的可不断、可再生的资源。而且这种木料也适用于现有的工业处置配置装备部署，这使患上未来投入破费更易。”
