WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. - The same tiny cellulose crystals that give trees and plants their high strength, light weight and resilience, have now been shown to have the stiffness of steel. The ...
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 and ...
“While it’s relatively easy to grow animal cells for mass food production you need to be able to grow them on something cheap ...
Researchers have modified certain bacteria with UV light so that they produce more cellulose. The basis for this is a new approach with which the researchers generate thousands of bacterial variants ...
Dublin, Nov. 11, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "Cellulose Market Industry Trends and Future Forecasts to 2035: Distribution by Derivative Type, Source, Modification Type, Manufacturing Process, Purity, ...
What is Wood Cellulose and Why is it Used? Wood cellulose, derived from plant fibers, is often added to grated cheese to prevent clumping. This functional additive helps maintain the texture and flow ...
To build resilient colonies, bacteria make a surprising tweak to a common substance found in cells. Cellulose is the most abundant natural polymer on the planet. It makes celery stringy and plants’ ...
Biopolymers have a variety of possible applications due to their renewable characteristics and their potential biodegradability. Biopolymers are polymers that are either bio-based, biodegradable, or ...
A team of researchers working at Stockholm's KTH Royal Institute of Technology claim to have developed a way to make cellulose fibers stronger than steel on a strength-to-weight basis. In what is ...
