The leftovers from brewing beer may soon play a surprising role in the future of food. According to new research from ...

A new study tests whether spent yeast from breweries can supply cellulose scaffolds that support lab-grown meat production.

When manufacturing cellulose-based products, challenges, such as the high melting point of cellulose, make it impossible for it to be melted without decomposition. Thus, shaping cellulose materials ...

Yeast left over from brewing beer can be transformed into edible 'scaffolds' for lab-grown meat, which could offer a more ...

Crystalline cellulose structures are known to have great strength compared to their weight, but quantifying this on the nanostructural level has been difficult, especially when it comes to ...

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. - Purdue researchers have discovered the structure of the enzyme that makes cellulose, a finding that could lead to easier ways of breaking down plant materials to make biofuels ...

Three-dimensional (3D) printing has a significant role in membrane production for water purification and bio-separation, with capacity to create new and cleverly designed structures. The researchers ...

Researchers experimented with different combinations of zwitterionic molecules to produce a solvent that is liquid below 100°C and very effective at breaking down cellulose. This research may lead to ...

Semiconducting nanomaterials with 3D network structures exhibit various fascinating properties such as electrical conduction, high permeability, and large surface areas, which are beneficial for ...
