A new "super wood" nanofiber biomaterial is stronger than spider silk

Researchers found a new technique to "densify" wood where fibers assemble to make the cell walls stiff and strong, a process called cellulose nanofibrils (CNFs).

Sea shells: A new source of sustainable biomaterials

Researchers from the Royal Belgian Institute of Natural Sciences are looking at environmentally and economically sustainable options for sea shells biomaterials.

Glowing 4D-printed flowers could pave way for replacement organs

This delicate, glowing flower could one day save your life. It’s the latest example of “4D printing” – 3D printed objects that change their shape over time – and it can move in a way that mimics natural processes. Similar materials could find a use in creating replacement organs in our bodies.
