A team at Germany's Fraunhofer Institute for Ceramic Technologies and Systems (IKTS) has developed a new type of sodium-ion ...

Researchers from Florida State University have created a novel biomass-based material that can continuously absorb and release carbon dioxide (CO 2). The material's major constituent, lignin, is an ...

Ho Yong Chung, an associate professor in the FAMU-FSU College of Engineering, has demonstrated for the first time the possibility of using lignin, a material found in plant cell walls, and carbon ...

Lignin is the complex polymer that gives plants their structural integrity. It also makes them difficult to break down. This complexity creates opportunities for scientists to make a diverse array of ...

Chestnut Hill, Mass (2/21/2023) – Lignin is arguably the most abundant component of biomass that most people have never heard of. That may be about to change. Many people are familiar with its ...

A new, biomass-based material can be used to repeatedly capture and release carbon dioxide. The material is primarily made from lignin, an organic molecule that is a main component of wood and other ...

Researchers have created a new kind of sunscreen with titanium dioxide (TiO 2) and lignin, a naturally occurring polymer, in a major development for the cosmetics industry. The novel application of a ...

Researchers in the Republic of Korea are pushing smart-window design beyond glass. Professor Sung Ho Song at Kongju National ...

A new book details how lignin once protected algae from UV radiation, then later in evolutionary time became a structural support for trees. The following is an excerpt from When the Earth Was Green: ...
