Crack healing in cementitious materials including test methods [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
If concrete is crack free, deleterious substances can be avoided entering the body of the material, that may corrode the rebar or encourage freeze/thaw damage. This paper examines a self healing system of cementitious materials.

Engineered Biopolymer Architectures for Selective Metal Ions Extraction

open access: yesAdvanced Sustainable Systems, Volume 10, Issue 4, April 2026.
This review establishes a mechanism‐oriented framework that connects biopolymer chemistry, structural engineering, ligand design, and hydrometallurgical process variables for selective metal‐ion extraction. It analyzes how functional groups, hierarchical architectures, and solution speciation govern adsorption capacity and selectivity in acidic ...

Data‐Driven Design and Fabrication of Heat‐Resistant, Ultrastrong, Lightweight Aluminum‐Based Entropy Alloy by Additive Manufacturing

open access: yesAdvanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 19, 2 April 2026.
A data‐driven strategy integrating quantum machine learning (QML) and high‐throughput computing overcomes hot‐cracking limitation to design a novel lightweight aluminum‐based entropy alloy for additive manufacturing. The fabrication transforms brittle intermetallics into deformable hierarchical nanostructures, yielding ultrastrong strength (>1 GPa) and

Microstructure and Performance Optimization of Barley Husk Ash–Blended Mortars: A Sustainable Approach to Cement Substitution

open access: yesEngineering Reports, Volume 8, Issue 4, April 2026.
Barley husk ash (BHA), an agricultural byproduct rich in pozzolanic oxides, was optimized as a sustainable cement substitute. Statistical modeling and experimental validation confirmed 22.75% BHA as the optimal replacement, enhancing mechanical and durability performance while advancing eco‐efficient construction practices.

A Domain‐Specific Vision Foundation Model for Mars: Self‐Supervised Learning for Planetary‐Scale Science Discovery

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Machine Learning and Computation, Volume 3, Issue 2, April 2026.
Abstract Planetary missions have produced a rapidly growing archive of high‐resolution imagery, yet only a small fraction has been examined in detail. Foundation models (FMs) offer a scalable path by learning transferable representations from unlabeled data, but most vision backbones are trained on Internet imagery or Earth observation data sets that ...
