Cross-laminated timber, or CLT, changes all that; wood is glued together into strong panels of almost any size, and is fire resistant as it is designed to char, which acts as a fireproofing. (treehugger.com)
But in its report, published last week, the 14 - strong panel focuses on an unspecified number of experiments in which people and their families were mistreated. (newscientist.com)
The proof, presented last month at the Turán Workshop in Mathematics, Convex and Discrete Geometry in Budapest, ends centuries of speculation — and confirms the intuition of human engineers, who use honeycombed materials to produce light but strong panels for cars, planes, and spacecraft.
