Laminated wood uses large quantities of glue to make beams and planks.
The compression and bonding by chemical reaction of this new process would replace glue yet give even higher performance end products.
This is great science and I hope it will be industrialized soon.

I have become more of a nerd in my old age and one of the things I try to follow online is new technologies. It is difficult to decipher the realistic vs fantastical and we also do not hear of many of the best ideas because lots of folks are trying to patent the next big thing.

Materials science will make our world much better in the future as will other technology. One of the most unique ideas that came to mind was combining this technology with the vacuum insulated glass that is emerging. Think about the energy efficiency rating you would achieve with these materials in a structure!
