Antimicrobial photodynamic therapy in Candida spp. biofilms: In vitro and in vivo protocols

Photochemistry and Photobiology, EarlyView.
This review addresses the critical challenges in translating in vitro antimicrobial photodynamic therapy protocols to in vivo models, with a particular focus on the hurdles of standardization. The vast diversity in photosensitizers and light parameters across different target cells and models requires a rigorous optimization process.

Sustainable Glass Foams From Recycled Glass and Rice Husk Ash: Thermal Insulation Performance for Ceiling Applications

International Journal of Applied Glass Science, Volume 17, Issue 3, July 2026.
Glass foams were produced using recycled glass and rice husk ash as raw materials. After deep characterization, miniature masonry model tests demonstrated effective thermal insulation when applied as a ceiling lining. The study validates the technical and environmental feasibility of glass foams for sustainable insulating materials in building ...

Harnessing Fungal Biowelding for Constructing Mycelium‐Engineered Materials

Advanced Engineering Materials, Volume 28, Issue 11, 3 June 2026.
Mycelium‐bound composites (MBCs) offer low‐carbon alternatives for construction, yet interfacial bonding remains a critical challenge. This review examines fungal biowelding as a biocompatible adhesive, elucidating mycelium‐mediated interfacial mechanisms and their role in material assembly. Strategies to optimize biowelding are discussed, highlighting

Sustainable Thermoset Foams From Epoxidized Soybean Oil and Agricultural Waste as Substitutes for Their Petroleum‐Based Plastic Counterparts

Advanced Sustainable Systems, Volume 10, Issue 6, June 2026.
Naturally derived epoxidized soybean oil (ESO) thermoset foams are produced via humidity‐induced foaming from carrot residues, eliminating the need for external blowing agents. The resulting materials exhibit good and resilient mechanical performance, remarkable elastic recovery, thermal insulation, and seawater biodegradability, demonstrating how ...

Evaluation of the Thermal Impedance Spectroscopy for Lithium‐Ion Batteries Using an Embedded Temperature Sensor

Chemistry–Methods, Volume 6, Issue 6, June 2026.
Thermal impedance spectroscopy is used to obtain the thermal parameters of a battery cell. Here, by utilising the cell temperature, the influence of thermal gradients on the resulting measurement is minimised, avoiding negative real values at all frequency points. The paper, therefore, compares multiple cell states and formats to gain insights into the
