Modified natural materials will be an essential component of a sustainable future, but first a detailed understanding of their properties is needed. The way heat flows across bamboo cell walls has been mapped using advanced scanning thermal microscopy, providing a new understanding of how variations in thermal conductivity are linked to the bamboo's elegant structure. The findings, published in the journal Scientific Reports, will guide the development of more energy-efficient and fire-safe buildings, made from natural materials, in the future.

During the late 19th and early 20th centuries, the lumber industry decimated many of America's forests. Could it now help restore them to health — and reduce wildfire risk at the same time? The emerging market for cross-laminated timber, if developed responsibly, could benefit both the timber industry and the environment.
