Transparent cement lets in daylight

Italian architects have developed transparent cement that lets light flood into a room. The material, called i. light, has dozens of tiny holes that let light pass through without compromising on structural integrity. Up close, the 2-3 mm gaps make a startling pattern and from certain angles or at a distance appear exactly as normal concrete. But on a sunny day, the effect inside a building made from the new cement is akin to a little more than a light mesh on the wall filtering the light coming in, the Daily Mail reported. The cement has been formed by bonding special resins in a new mix created by Italian architects Italcementi.
