We are proud to announce the 21st International Nondestructive Testing and Evaluation (NDTE) of Wood Symposium, which will be held in Freiburg, Germany, Sept. 24-27, 2019.
This symposium will be hosted by the ForestResearch Institute Baden-Württemberg (FVA) and is co-sponsored by the USDAForest Service ProductsLaboratory (FPL), the ForestProducts Society (FPS) and the International Union of Forest Research Organizations (IUFRO). The conference will be held at Katholische Akademie Freiburg, which is situated close to the city center of Freiburg.
This Symposium is a forum for those involved in nondestructive testing and evaluation of wood, wood-based products and structures. It will bring together the international nondestructive testing and evaluation research community, users of various nondestructive testing technologies, equipment development and manufacturing professionals, representatives from various government agencies, and other groups to share research findings and new nondestructive testing products and technologies.

The 12th International Conference on Wood Adhesives will be held Sept. 30-Oct. 2, 2020 at the Portland Hilton Downtown hotel in Portland, Oregon. This is one year earlier than originally planned, based on the strong interest and activity in bio-based adhesives. The International Conference on Wood Adhesives is the premier technical conference on advances in adhesion of wood and biomass. Industry representatives were the majority of the 241 attendees in 2017, evenly split between the US and the rest of the world.

Researchers at Joseph Wang's Laboratory for Nanobioelectronics at UC San Diego demonstrated the synthesis of high-performance stretchable graphene ink using a facile, scalable and low-cost laser induction method for the synthesis of the graphene component. As a proof-of-concept, the researchers fabricated a stretchable micro-supercapacitor (S-MSC) demonstrating high capacitance. This is said to be the first example of using laser-induced graphene in the form of a powder preparation of graphene-based inks and subsequently for use in screen-printing of S-MSC.

Researchers from The Hebrew University of Jerusalem are taking the study of 3-D printing and materials one step further in creating a new ink made from wood. In their recently published paper, "Additive Manufacturing of 3-D Structures Composed of Wood Materials," authors Dr. Michael Layani, Prof. Shlomo Magdassi, Prof. Oded Shoseyov, and PhD student Doron Kam expound on the benefits of this new material, used in both binder jetting and extrusion 3-D printing technology, with an international patent currently in the process of being filed for the new technique.

Moscow Mountain, looming on the horizon and shrouded with rain, was a symbol at a soggy University of Idaho groundbreaking ceremony Thursday that the UI is doing more than building a new basketball venue.
Idaho Central Credit Union Arena is a uniquely Idaho project that resonates with the university's educational and land grant missions and will also have national significance.
Dennis Becker, College of Natural Resources dean, referenced the former when he pointed out the mass timber arena will be built with wood harvested from the UI Experimental Forest on Moscow Mountain. Idaho companies will manufacture and haul the arena timbers to campus, and when the building is completed in two years, it will be a living laboratory "training the next generation of students how to engineer wood," Becker said.

On May 7, the U.S. Forest Service announced the 2019 Wood Innovation Grant (WIG) recipients. A total $8.9 million was awarded to 41 projects in 20 states. Nearly half of the funds were awarded to projects aiming to further mass timber innovation, including technologies like cross laminated timber (CLT). Most of the mass timber projects are focused on innovative building design or documenting performance properties including acoustics and vibration, seismic loads, environmental impact and fire performance of exposed material.

GRETE, the Green chemicals and technologies for the wood-to-textile value chain project, has been granted EUR 2.6 million by the Bio-based Industries Joint Undertaking (BBI JU), which is partnership between the EU and the Bio-based Industries Consortium. The project will improve the existing wood-to-textile value chains by developing breakthrough technologies that can open up the identified bottlenecks and enable increased production of man-made cellulose fibers in Europe.

People, businesses and communities across Canada looking for cheaper, more reliable and environmentally friendly heating options should be taking a closer look at wood fuel, says a national supplier of wood heating systems.
Biothermic, an Ontario-based company with two locations supplying modern wood heating systems across Canada, has built Ontario's first wood fuel facility for processing and storing wood chips — a major step forward in helping make low-carbon, low-cost energy a reality in Canada.

Lucas Epp, engineering manager of StructureCraft Builders Inc., says if Canadian construction will prosper in the 21st century, it needs to learn from such industries as automotive assembly and aerospace and make more use of advanced technology.
Construction is still very much an old-school industry, he says.
