Scientists have developed a new method for producing a “super wood” that stores more carbon and reduces emissions, thanks to a groundbreaking genetic modification. The modified wood could also offer a ...

Wood is already a pretty fantastic material, and it's hard to imagine mankind getting to the point we are today without it, but it has some pretty serious drawbacks depending on the application. Its ...

Made from traditional wood, engineered wood is often seen as a renewable replacement for traditional building materials like steel, cement, glass and plastic. It also has the potential to store carbon ...

Researchers at the University of Maryland genetically modified poplar trees to produce high-performance, structural wood without the use of chemicals or energy intensive processing. Made from ...

While sustainably-grown wood can be an economical and eco-friendly building material, its relatively low tensile strength limits its potential applications. That could soon change, however, thanks to ...

OSU professor Fred Kamke has partnered with Corvallis Tool Company for years to develop his Viscoelastic Thermal Compression technology. The company will help Kamke test the market potential of the ...
