Although the components of wood – cellulose and lignin – are exceedingly cheap and plentiful, combining these into a wood-like structure is not straightforward, despite many attempts to make ...

The structure of the enzyme that makes cellulose has been uncovered by researchers, a finding that could lead to easier ways of breaking down plant materials to make biofuels and other products ...

Ultra-light, thermally insulating and biodegradable: Cellulose-based aerogels are versatile. Empa researchers have succeeded in 3D printing the natural material into complex shapes that could one ...

A group of researchers at Chalmers University of Technology in Sweden has managed to print and dry 3D objects made entirely by cellulose. The team also added carbon nanotubes to create electrically ...

To overcome this challenge, a pyrolyzed cellulose nanofiber paper (CNP) semiconductor with a 3D network structure is proposed. Its nano–micro–macro trans-scale structural design is achieved by a ...

Purdue researchers have discovered the structure of the enzyme that makes cellulose, a finding that could lead to easier ways of breaking down plant materials to make biofuels and other products and ...

Ranby and Ribi 1 have recently described how native cellulose particles of micellar dimensions can be produced by boiling cotton fibres in dilute sulphuric acid and then washing to a pH of ...

Under the deal, HP will include Structure's AI-powered Software Development Kit into its platform, therefore providing consumers with sophisticated 3D scanning capabilities. With an eye toward ...

A research team led by engineers at the University of Virginia School of Engineering and Applied Science is the first to explore how an emerging plant-based material, cellulose nanofibrils, could ...

Improved methods for breaking down cellulose nanofibers are central to cost-effective biofuel production and the subject of new research from Los Alamos National Laboratory and the Great Lakes ...

Artistic depiction of the 3D structure of Nipah virus RNA polymerase in the active state. The structure of the Nipah virus RNA polymerase is shown as a transparent surface representation (L ...

Researchers have succeeded in 3D printing cellulose-based aerogels into complex shapes that could one day serve as precision insulation in microelectronics or as personalized medical implants.
