The quest for rare wood is endangering forests. Now we can just 3D-print replicas made from wood waste instead. The most trafficked wild product in the world isn’t ivory or rhino horn, but rosewood, ...

NASA's Webb Telescope, which is equipped with very advanced infrared capabilities, recently caught the glowing echo of this light. These echoes allowed astronomers to take a new, high-quality image of ...

Although the components of wood – cellulose and lignin – are exceedingly cheap and plentiful, combining these into a wood-like structure is not straightforward, despite many attempts to make these ...

MOSCOW, Idaho — The University of Idaho is developing technology to turn Idaho wood waste into architectural millwork and construction materials on the market — by using it as a medium for 3D-printing ...

The materials you can use to produce 3D prints have exploded over the past few years. One of those materials is wood (or "wood"). Having been provided a spool of filament, I decided to put it through ...

In its natural state, lignin is a tightly cross-linked organic polymer that plays an important role in giving plants and trees their rigidity. But when these resources are converted into paper, the ...

Radiation patterns for antennas can be utterly confusing, especially when presented in two dimensions, as they usually are. Fear not, [Hunter] has your back with 3D printed and color-coded radiation ...

The future of 3D printing may depend on the ability print things with properties beyond cheap plastic. We've seen composite materials appear for 3D printers before, but the arrival of MakerBot to the ...

NASA's James Webb Space Telescope has captured the Cassiopeia A supernova remnant, which bears wood grain-like patterns ...
