Synthesis of Samarium‐incorporated X‐ray‐sensitive nanoparticles and hydrogels: Diverse applications in radiation monitoring and dynamic information display

Smart Molecules, EarlyView.
Sm3+‐doped α‐NaLuF4 and β‐NaLuF4 were synthesized. The X‐ray‐activated persistent luminescence abilities and afterglow properties can be well controlled. Sm3+‐doped β‐NaLuF4 exhibits remarkable afterglow ability. The hexagonal β‐NaLuF4:3%Sm3+‐incorporated hydrogel can be further programmed with other types of hydrogels to enable tunable emission ...

Solid-state NMR characterisation of the thermal transformation of a Hungarian white illite [PDF]

, 2005
1H, 27Al, 29Si and 39K solid-state NMR are reported from a Hungarian illite 2:1 clay for samples heated up 1600 °C. This single-phase sample has a small amount of aluminium substitution in the silica layer and very low iron-content (0.4 wt%).

Commercial clays in cosmetic formulations for hair care: Characterization and application to improve the mechanical properties of hair fibre

International Journal of Cosmetic Science, EarlyView.
The shampoo and conditioner bar formulations enhanced hair gloss, promoting softness, improved cuticle alignment, and effective protection of hair shafts against external aggressors. Findings from mechanical properties measurements indicate that the clay‐containing formulations enhance the mechanical strength of hair, contributing to stronger and more ...

Loess Studies in Aotearoa New Zealand

New Zealand Journal of Geology and Geophysics, Volume 69, Issue 2, June 2026.
Loess in Aotearoa New Zealand (ANZ) has been studied since its first documented recognition (on Banks Peninsula) in 1878 by Julius von Haast. A decade later, John Hardcastle revealed that southern ANZ loess was both glacial in origin and contained signals of past climates.
