The Impact of DNA as a Chemical Admixture for Cementitious Materials
DNA molecules are added to cement pastes and their effects on rheology and hydration time are studied. DNA's chemical structure is composed of polysaccharide and phosphate groups, which are active functional groups in different commercial chemical admixtures: Viscosity modifiers and superplasticizers.

Efficient plastic waste sorting is crucial for circularity. Advanced methods using lanthanide photonic tracers enhance recycling beyond near‐infrared sorting. Europium(II)‐doped phosphors, with high stability and long luminescence decay, improve tracer detection in sorting systems, enabling precise identification of different plastic materials ...
