X-ray phase-contrast imaging and tomography make use of the refraction of X-rays by the
sample in image formation. This provides considerable additional information in the image …

Wood is a complex hierarchical material. As a widely available renewable resource, it has
been used throughout history to construct dwellings and transportation, tools, art and …

In this tutorial, we describe X-ray microtomography as a technique to nondestructively
characterize material microstructure in three dimensions at a micron level spatial resolution …

MicroComputed Tomography has become the gold standard for studying 3D microscopic
structures nondestructively, and this book provides up-to-date coverage of the modality. The …

Cuttlefish, a unique group of marine mollusks, produces an internal biomineralized shell,
known as cuttlebone, which is an ultra-lightweight cellular structure (porosity,∼ 93 vol%) …

A better understanding of the interfacial transition zone (ITZ) in biochar-augmented carbon-
negative cementitious materials can facilitate their potential applications. This study …

Vibration reduction has always been one of hot and important topics in mechanical
engineering, especially for the special measurement instrument. In this paper, a novel limb …

We investigated the three-dimensional, microscopic, dimensional changes of Picea abies (L.
Karst) wood samples due to controlled steps of the ambient relative humidity. The study was …

Investigating plant structure is fundamental in botanical science and provides crucial
knowledge for the theories of plant evolution, ecophysiology and for the biotechnological …

A micro-scale three-point-bending experiment with a wood specimen was carried out and
monitored by synchrotron radiation micro-computed tomography. The full three-dimensional …
