A research team led by the University of the Basque Country (EHU), together with Wuhan University and the Chinese Academy of Sciences (China), was inspired by naturally occurring processes that give ...

A genetic engineering method makes it possible to observe how woody cell walls are built in plants. The new research in wood formation, conducted by the University of Copenhagen and others, opens up ...

A University of Maryland (UMD) research team developed a technique for creating strong and moldable wood materials via a rapid "water-shock" process. The team, led by Liangbing Hu, materials science ...

To begin to understand poplar growth, a possible bioenergy crop, scientists built a robust high-throughput pipeline for studying the hierarchy of genetic regulation of wood formation using ...

The Institute for Computational Design and Construction (ICD) at the University of Stuttgart has released prototypes for self-forming wood furniture that requires no assembly. The HygroShape furniture ...

SMARTECH is thrilled to announce the highly anticipated commercial release of an additional module, SmartForming as part of its AI-based Autonomous Manewfacturing™ platform offered to the wood-based ...

Strong by Form is redefining the structural potential of wood by treating it not as a conventional building material, but as a high-performance engineered composite. By combining computational design, ...

A genetic trick makes it possible to observe wood formation in real-time Because wood forms in tissue that is buried deep inside the plant, and microscopes work best on the surfaces of objects, the ...
