Summary from the TLDR newsletter

InventWood's Superwood is made from regular timber treated with food industry chemicals, which modifies the molecular structure of the wood, increasing the hydrogen bonds between cellulose molecules so that the resulting material has 50% more tensile strength than steel, with a strength-to-weight ratio that's 10 times better.
