Jul 31, 2024 · Scientists from the Sainsbury Laboratory at Cambridge University and Jagiellonian University, Poland made the discovery while undertaking an evolutionary survey of the microscopic structure of wood from some of the world’s most iconic trees and shrubs.
Aug 1, 2024 · An entirely new type of wood that does not fit into either category of hardwood or softwood has been discovered by researchers who were undertaking an evolutionary survey of the microscopic...
Jul 30, 2024 · Scientists from Jagiellonian University and the University of Cambridge used a low temperature scanning electron microscope (cryo-SEM) to image the nanoscale architecture of secondary cell walls...
The study, published in New Phytologist, set out to explore the microscopic structure of wood across various tree species. But what they found in the tulip tree (Liriodendron tulipifera) and its close relative, the Chinese tulip tree (Liriodendron chinense), was truly unexpected – a wood structure that defies traditional categories.
Jul 31, 2024 · The study found that tulip trees, which are related to magnolias and can grow over 100 feet tall, have this unique type of wood. The discovery was part of an evolutionary survey of the microscopic structure of wood from 33 tree species from CUBG’s Living Collections.
