Individual wood fibers are made up mainly of cellulose, along with a binder material known as lignin. This mixture forms the wall of what is essentially a long hollow tube – the fiber – which ...

Scientists from Linköping University in Sweden developed a flexible battery—using liquid electrodes, conductive plastics, and lignin—that can stretch twice its length and maintain performance.

Wood has three components: cellulose, hemicellulose and lignin. To make it transparent, the lignin and hemicellulose are removed, leaving behind a porous, paper-like network of cellulose.

The Dutch pyrolysis firm Blue Cycle went into bankruptcy late last year, and Carbios recently delayed plans for a French polyethylene terephthalate depolymerization plant as it seeks to pin down ...

More broadly, the researchers documented three defining features of Prototaxites: large structures made of different tube-like components, compounds similar to lignin (the molecules that help give ...

Some of the plants had adaptations including using the stem-strengthening compound lignin and a vascular structure. Both traits allowed them to grow and for their root systems to go deeper than ...
