A research team 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 amplify the benefits ...

Tucked inside the fibrous cellulose matrices that provide mechanical strength to wood and plants are nanostructured cellulose materials that are jockeying for scientists’ attention. Collectively ...

3D printing technology is advancing at a remarkable pace, with applications ranging from fabricating biological tissues to creating ceramics that can filter out persistent water contaminants. One ...

Researchers have developed a new material for use in solid-state batteries that is derived cellulose nanofibrils found in trees. In research published in Nature, the team from Brown University and the ...

Scientists say they are closing in on a cool solution to a sticky problem. They've found that adding tiny cellulose fibers extracted from banana plant waste to ice cream could slow melting, increase ...
