How big they are: The smallest plants, known as desmids and picozoa, are single-celled algae that are less than 0.0004 inches ...

The world produces billions of metric tons of animal waste. Imagine turning it into one of the world’s most used materials ...

Plant cell walls are primarily made of cellulose, which is the most abundant macromolecule on Earth. Cellulose fibers are long, linear polymers of hundreds of glucose molecules. These fibers ...

Learn how a new method of manufacturing technology could help turn cow manure into one of the most used materials on Earth.

A team of researchers have captured continuous photographs of cellulose synthesis through which plant cell walls get built with the help of living plant cells. The study, published in Science ...

The design here builds on cellulose, the structural molecule found in plant cell walls and already used to make cellophane. Traditionally, cellophane has remained too flexible for certain ...

Scientists at the University College London (UCL) have found a way of turning cow dung from farms into cellulose fibres, ...

Led by Noriyuki Isobe, the team engineered the material using a lithium bromide solution to dissolve cellulose, a fibrous compound found in plant cell walls. Unlike previous methods that relied on ...
