Luminescent transparent wood combining optical and load‐bearing functions is successfully fabricated and described by I. Sychugov and co‐workers in article number 1600834. The wood structure introduces strong scattering and waveguiding, resulting in diffused luminescence from embedded quantum dots. The luminescent transparent wood could potentially be exploited for optoelectronic and photovoltaic applications, such as for planar illumination sources and luminescent buildings/furniture.
