(A) SAXS analysis of fiber cell materials to determine the diameter of each bundle in a different microfibril. (B) Polydispersity analysis of the five samples. Peak positions corresponding to the ...

Investigating alkali-treated wood, this research uncovers how chemical modifications and anisotropic structure influence transparency and light transmission.

The discovery unveils the molecular machinery that plants use to weave cellulose chains into cable-like structures called 'microfibrils.' New research from the University of Virginia School of ...

Researchers at The University of Osaka have created highly transparent wood without plastic additives and revealed that its clarity depends on ...
