International Journal of Applied Glass Science, Volume 17, Issue 2, April 2026.ABSTRACT The formation of a crystallized surface layer, having a lower coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) than the parent glass, can be exploited to place the glass surface under compression during cooling from crystallization temperature and hence improve mechanical properties.

Sustainable Strategies for the Recycling of Sodium‐Ion Battery Cathodes Using Organic Acids
Battery Energy, Volume 5, Issue 2, March 2026.This study introduces a novel sustainable hydrometallurgical process for recycling SIB cathodes. Optimized citric acid leaching exceeds the EU Ni recovery target. Subsequent oxalic acid precipitation selectively retrieves Ni and Mn, forming a Mn–Ni oxalate precursor for SIB cathode regeneration.

New Zealand's Second Meteorite: Makarewa (find, L4, S5, W2)
New Zealand Journal of Geology and Geophysics, Volume 69, Issue 1, March 2026.One of the most remarkable discoveries of a meteorite in New Zealand was that of Makarewa. Discovered in 1879, Makarewa is a ‘find’ that was uncovered a metre below the surface of a clay bank during excavation works for a train line in the southern South Island.
