Journal of Geophysical Research: Biogeosciences, Volume 131, Issue 3, March 2026.Abstract Organic matter in carbonate rocks plays a crucial role in processes such as fluid flow regulation, carbon sequestration, contaminant transport, and hydrocarbon recovery. This study employed multimodal spectroscopic techniques, including fluorescence imaging and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, to characterize the spatial ...

δ‐Bismuth Oxide Responsible for Tooth Discolouration—A Laboratory Investigation
International Endodontic Journal, Volume 59, Issue 3, Page 538-548, March 2026.ABSTRACT Aims To investigate the phase changes of bismuth oxide in contact with sodium hypochlorite responsible for tooth discolouration. Methodology Bismuth oxide (monoclinic α−phase; C) was mixed with sodium hypochlorite at 20°C, 37°C, and 60°C (B20, B37, B60) for a period of 24 weeks with weekly refreshing of solutions.

Journal of the American Ceramic Society, Volume 109, Issue 3, March 2026.ABSTRACT This study investigates sodium silicate (SS) solutions derived from rice husk ash (RHA) dissolved in 8 M NaOH as sustainable activators for alkali‐activated cements (AACs), compared with commercial SS. AACs were produced using a 50:50 blend of electric arc furnace slag (EAFS) and biomass bottom ash (BA). The effects of NaOH/RHA ratio (6.6–2.8)
