Mechanical Behavior of Concrete Modified by Replacement of Cement by Rice Husk Ash
Brazilian Archives of Biology and TechnologyConstruction industry is in need of lump sum quantities of materials which has increased both their demand and price. The use of large quantities of cement leads to increasing CO2 emission and as a consequence, the greenhouse effect.

Coordinated Architectural and Chemical Reinforcement in the Crushing Mandible of a Soldier Termite
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.The crushing mandible of a soldier termite withstands substantial biting loads despite lacking mineral. Its cuticle is partitioned: convex teeth pair hardness and zinc enrichment with aligned chitin fibers for contact durability, while stiffer concave regions between teeth carry bending loads.

Bone‐Inspired Recyclable Composites for Damage‐Tolerant Circular Materials
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Bone‐inspired architected composites are developed by combining osteon‐like reinforcements with a recyclable Elium thermoplastic matrix. The hierarchical architecture redirects cracks and promotes energy dissipation, while enabling recovery of intact, aligned, load‐bearing reinforcement units that retain their original stiffness, revealing a route ...
