4 w. ago Alpine craft: Scientists develop sustainable wood panels using traditional shingle

Wooden shingles characterize the appearance of roofs and facades in the Alpine region and have been hand-crafted for generations. This centuries-old craft inspired researchers at Empa and ETH Zurich to use this very efficient wood separation method to produce new types of wood-based materials. The work is published in the journal RILEM Technical Letters.
