In co-operation with Christoffer Dupont, student of engineering; Lene
Langballe, student of architecture and Dalton Beton (a Danish
manufacturer of concrete components), the Innovation Lab project team
has developed the first screen of transparent concrete that the world
has ever seen.

Or perhaps NOT seen. hehe

Anyone remember the show The Invisible Man where this British fellow took off
his clothes each week in order to solve a mystery? Hmmm... Probably best not
to think too much on that.

Toodles,

Katherine
