Researchers in the US have created super-strong wood building material that can remain cooler than its surrounding temperature. Made using cellulose nanofibers, the mechanical strength per weight of this wood is stronger than steel. On testing it in a farm in US' Arizona, researchers found it stayed on an average five or six degrees Fahrenheit cooler than ambient air temperature.
