the traditional wood coatings become brittle, faded and fall away, says Durawood project coordinator Elodie Bugnicourt.
Left untreated, the moulds can burrow deep inside the wood, breaking down the vital lignin or cellulose compounds inside the cells,
Unprotected wood is also vulnerable to various fungi. A particular nuisance is the blue-stain fungus,
while compromising the wood's durability. Plasma treatment is a versatile and powerful technique: by producing high frequency electric discharges,
Bugnicourt says between 50 and 100 million tonnes of wood could use Durawood pre-treatment system every year. urawood could help the timber industry by improving the quality of products
As a low-cost, low energy and high-speed wood pre-treatment, Durawood would allow manufacturers to apply it on-site immediately before other wood coating operations.

Last year, Harvard university researchers led by engineering professor Robert Wood introduced the first Robobees, bee-size robots with the ability to lift off the ground

Although Wood wrote that CCD and the threat it poses to agriculture were part of the original inspiration for creating a robotic bee,
Although bone and wood are already strong and light, nature s design can be refined. Inspired by organic materials,
said Robert Wood, a professor of engineering at Harvard university who helped develop the new robot.
Wood said. It also reduces the cost of building these machines. Both of these benefits make the origami production process a good fit for robotics
or hazardous environment exploration,"Wood said. But before these tiny bots travel into space or other harsh environments, the researchers will need to experiment with stiffer and more-durable materials.
"Really, the options that are available are salvage logging of the wood for biomass or long-lived wood products to keep the carbon from the atmosphere,

Sam Felton Michael Tolley and Rob Wood. At the IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation this spring Rus Demaine Wood and five other researchers at MIT and Harvard presented a paper on bakable robots
which would self-assemble from laser-cut materials when uniformly heated. The new work is similar
In prior work Rus Demaine and Wood developed an algorithm that could automatically convert any digitally specified 3-D shape into an origami folding pattern.
It can also charge through materials such as wood or granite allow freedom to move the devices around

#Wood instead of petroleum: Producing chemical substances solely from renewable resources Petroleum might well be replaced by wood soon
when it comes to manufacturing chemical substances. Research has made now significant progress towards using sustainable biomass, like wood, as an alternative raw material for chemical production.
Scientists at Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz (JGU) in Germany and at the University of Alabama in Tuscaloosa in the USA recently managed to synthesize two complex chemical substances from wood-based starting materials.
The process can be as cost-effective as the conventional petroleum product-based process and is less damaging to the environment."
This new work shows that the relevant carbon skeletons can be created solely from wood-based starting materials.
"This shows that the implementation of a wood-based chemical economy is associated not necessarily with decreased cost-efficiency,"added Daniel Stubba, JGU first author of the publication."

#Machines Sniff out Illegal Specimens Of Wood Illegally traded specimens of endangered species present a huge problem to investigators and customs officials all over the world.
NPR with Oregon Public Broadcasting reports that a wildlife forensic lab has managed to start identifying illegal wood samples using a DART-TOF (Direct Analysis In real time Time of Flight) mass spectrometer,
When investigators find something they think might have been made with illegal wood, they send it to the lab. The lab takes a small sample and puts it in the machine.
The machine reads the unique combination of chemicals given off by the wood, and spits out a reading that the scientists can compare to other samples in a growing database.
If the wood is a match for a rare or endangered species, the authorities can take action against the people using illegally forested wood.
