Testing coir (coconut) fiber as a novel, biodegradable material for coral reef restoration: coir interactions with larval and juvenile corals

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Coral populations have declined in recent decades, largely due to anthropogenic climate change. In response, coral restoration projects are being implemented, and rubble stabilization is one such approach. Rubble beds form when dead coral fragments accumulate on the seafloor and can be mobilized by water flow.

The hunt for Scabiosa trenta Hacq: how the pursuit of a phantom ignited a passion for botany and mountaineering

Nordic Journal of Botany, Volume 2026, Issue 8, August 2026.
Scabiosa trenta Hacq. was first described in 1782 by Balthasar Hacquet, with its specific epithet referring to the Trenta Valley in Slovenia. Since then, S. trenta has been the focus of numerous mountaineering and botanical expeditions, particularly by the alpinist Julius Kugy during the Golden Age of Alpinism, a period in the second half of 19th ...

Evaluation of physical, chemical, and color‐matching properties of monochromatic resin composites: An in vitro study

European Journal of Oral Sciences, Volume 134, Issue 4, August 2026.
Abstract The objectives of this study are to evaluate, in vitro, the microhardness, sorption, solubility, color stability, and color‐matching ability of monochromatic resin composites: Palfique Omnichroma / Tokuyama (Mono1) and Vittra APS Unique / FGM (Mono2) compared with the conventional resin composite: Filtek Z250 XT / Solventum (Conv).

In situ evaluation of the bleaching efficacy of experimental hydrogen peroxide hydrogel with MnO‐doped Biosilicate activated by violet LED light

European Journal of Oral Sciences, Volume 134, Issue 4, August 2026.
Abstract Hydrogen peroxide (HP) at 35% is effective for dental bleaching but may reduce enamel mineral content and induce structural changes. This study developed a bleaching‐hydrogel containing 6%HP and manganese‐oxide–doped Biosilicate (MnO_BioS), activated by violet LED, under in situ conditions.

Post‐curing effects on mechanical properties staining resistance of a 3D‐printed resin versus a direct composite for definitive restorations

European Journal of Oral Sciences, Volume 134, Issue 4, August 2026.
Abstract This study evaluated the mechanical performance and staining resistance of a three‐dimensional (3D)‐printed resin (VarseoSmile Crown Plus) subjected to different post‐curing times (0, 5, 10, 15, and 20 min), compared with a conventional nanofilled resin composite (Filtek Z350XT).
