I am totally encouraged by this report. The sentence that really gets me from a companion paper linked below: "Cellulose, the main component of wood, has a higher ratio of strength to density than most engineered materials, like ceramics, metals, and polymers, but our existing usage of wood barely touches its full potential." It's just a beginning, but a good one. Hard to see HW replacing the myriad things we use steel or ceramics for, but intriguing.
