The effects of material thicknesses and substrates on the translucency and color masking ability of additively manufactured definitive crown materials

Journal of Prosthodontics, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose To investigate the translucency of the new 3D‐printable materials concerning thickness and the color masking ability of each material against different substrate colors. Materials and Methods Ninety square‐shaped specimens (12.0 mm × 12.0 mm) of two new 3D‐printable materials: ceramic‐infiltrated hybrid resin composite (VS) and light ...

The effects of far‐UVC irradiation on the presence and concentration of ESKAPEE pathogens on hospital surfaces: Study protocol for a multi‐site, double‐blinded randomized controlled trial in La Paz, Bolivia

Photochemistry and Photobiology, EarlyView.
The protocol of a multi‐site, double‐blinded, clustered randomized controlled trial (cRCT) with a binary outcome of the presence of viable presumptive ESKAPEE pathogens on surfaces in and around hospital sinks is to be implemented in two Bolivian hospitals.

Ultraviolet‐C light for prevention of airborne infection: A baseline analysis of web‐based public information

Photochemistry and Photobiology, EarlyView.
This study assesses whether online public information about UVC for airborne infection prevention is clear and actionable. Using the CDC's Clear Communication Index, we found that most health organization websites did not fully achieve basic communication standards.

Thermochromic Radiative Cooling Coatings with Robust Superhydrophobicity for Energy‐Efficient Buildings

ENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, Volume 9, Issue 5, September 2026.
A scalable, color‐adaptive radiative cooling coating is developed to enable dynamic spectral regulation via a reversible thermochromic transition at ~45 °C and a high solar reflectance of 91.7%. The coating achieves 4.44 °C outdoor sub‐ambient cooling while providing robust superhydrophobicity and environmental durability through its micro/nano ...

Elephant‐Skin‐Inspired Porous Cementitious Tiles with Programmable Crack Networks for Passive Cooling

Advanced Materials, Volume 38, Issue 44, 7 August 2026.
Elephant‐skin‐inspired crack networks are programmed in porous diatomaceous earth (DE)‐cement composites using substrate‐guided, stress‐concentration induced fracture. The resulting crack lattices act as capillary conduits that redistribute water, while the porous matrix stores moisture.

Modeling and Analysis of Nonlinear Radiative and Electromagnetic Effects With Second‐Order Slip in Unsteady Hybrid Nanofluid Flow Past a Porous Stretching Surface

Engineering Reports, Volume 8, Issue 8, August 2026.
The current work examines the dynamics of the stagnation point flow of an unsteady hybrid nanofluid (Fe2O3–Cu/H2O) across an inclined porous stretching surface. It considers heat transfer, second‐order slip, electrical field, heat source/sink, mixed convection, and magnetic field effects, as well as linear and nonlinear radiation.

Quantification of Direct Benefits of Functional Recovery‐Based Design for Seismic Resilience

Earthquake Spectra, Volume 42, Issue 3, August 2026.
Lessons from recent major earthquakes have shown that current life‐safety‐centered seismic design practice falls short in ensuring a desirable post‐hazard recovery. Extensive economic losses, high demolition rates, and long recovery have signified a gap between design targets and society's expectations of seismic performance of code‐compliant buildings.

Can prisons move people into better jobs? A look at correctional vocational training programs and sectoral employment outcomes

Criminology, Volume 64, Issue 3, Page 521-560, August 2026.
Abstract Three‐quarters of US prisons offer vocational training programs, which aim to place trainees in middle‐skills jobs in specific occupational sectors post‐release. These middle‐skills jobs may more effectively reduce recidivism than the jobs that normally characterize the labor market experience of the formerly incarcerated, yet whether ...
