AboutAbout the lab
From tree cell walls to resource utilization.
The Wood Physics Lab studies, from the perspective of physics, everything from the formation of tree cell walls and the growth of trees to the utilization of wood as a resource.
Research begins with sampling in a variety of fields.
Methods are wide-ranging, including tree observation, growth stress measurement, microscopy, physical property measurement, tissue structure analysis, genetic analysis, and simulation.
The lab conducts joint research with various research institutions and companies in Japan and abroad.
Key terms
- Cell wall
- The sturdy wall that surrounds a plant cell from the outside. It forms the main part of wood.
- Growth stress
- The force that arises inside a tree trunk as the tree grows.
