Egypt has begun shutting down some local wheat collection centres ahead of schedule, signalling that the harvest is nearing its end with purchases falling short of the government's target ...

Zhou and a small research team began studying how to 3D print wheat straw-based insulation in 2022, with financial support from the Advanced Research Projects Agency–Energy (ARPA-E) in the U.S.

For the first time, researchers 3D-printed wheat straw fibers for use in thermal insulation structures.

Wheat straw, on the other hand, is a natural fiber that is renewable and biodegradable, which offers significant environmental advantages. The process involved pulping the fibers, which come from ...

University at Buffalo-led team 3D prints the organic material to create green alternative to common fiberglass insulation.
