Experimental analysis of bolted connections for precast concrete walls under cyclic tensile loading

Structural Concrete, Volume 27, Issue 2, Page 2309-2327, April 2026.
Abstract Dry‐bolted connections in precast wall structures simplify the assembly process and offer significant advantages in terms of construction speed and cost. In fact, the reduction of the required workmanship, compared to wet connections, makes this solution highly competitive.

X‐ray computed tomography study of terrestrial analog cores in preparation for Mars sample return

Meteoritics &Planetary Science, Volume 61, Issue 3, Page 405-426, March 2026.
Abstract Mars Sample Return (MSR) is expected to transform planetary science by providing unprecedented access to pristine Martian material. Initial characterization in the sample receiving facility (SRF) will rely on nondestructive techniques such as X‐ray computed tomography (XCT) to document the condition, distribution, and internal features of ...

Operando Spectroscopy and Kinetic Modelling Reveal Dynamic Catalyst Species During Auto‐Oxidation of a Palladium Phosphine System

ChemCatChem, Volume 18, Issue 3, 12 February 2026.
ABSTRACT Ligand oxidation is a reoccurring catalyst deactivation mechanism in catalytic systems containing phosphine ligands. Here we report the use of operando FTIR spectroscopy for the investigation of the aerobic oxidation of the common Pd‐triphenylphosphine catalytic system using [Pd(OAc)2] and [Pd(PPh3)4] as precursors.
