Sustainable 3D printing of wood from its building blocks

For centuries, wood has been shaped through subtractive manufacturing—cutting, carving, and milling—processes that inevitably ...
Using cellulose nanofibers from wood, researchers have made paper that can be tuned using a slow heat treatment to be effective semiconductors, some almost as conductive as metals (ACS Nano 2022, DOI: ...
Conventional plastic or silicone pressure sensors deliver either high sensitivity or a wide range—but rarely both. Now, researchers from Wuhan University and Beijing Institute of Technology—Prof. Ang ...
