Nonthermal plasma approaches for combating implant‐associated infections: A compendious review
VIEW, EarlyView.Implant‐associated infections pose serious clinical challenges. Non‐thermal plasma (NTP) modifications overcome this bottleneck in distinct ways relative to traditional sterilization methods. Gas‐phase plasmas generate highly energetic species, UV radiation and reactive oxygen/nitrogen species (RONS), which alter the implant surface properties.

Engineered surface strategies to manage dental implant‐related infections
Periodontology 2000, EarlyView.Abstract When exposed to the oral environment, dental implants, like natural surfaces, become substrates for microbial adhesion and accumulation, often leading to implant‐related infections—one of the main causes of implant failure. These failures impose significant costs on patients, clinicians, and healthcare systems.

Advances in Floating Solar Desalination Systems
Water and Environment Journal, EarlyView.This review critically classifies floating solar desalination systems into five main categories and compares their thermal performance, productivity and technological limitations. Membrane‐based and multieffect systems showed the highest efficiencies, while traditional designs remain limited by heat losses and scaling.

ENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, Volume 9, Issue 4, July 2026.Vapor phase infiltration (VPI) enables atomic‐level dielectric regulation in conductive polymer foams. The VPI‐treated foam exhibits enhanced absorption efficiency per unit thickness (~2.6 times), dynamic frequency tunability (94.5% coverage in 2–18 GHz), and on/off switching ability while retaining performance under acid/alkali exposure and repeated ...
