Aerogel Scaffolds: Breathing Life Into Tissue Repair and Companion Diagnostics

Aggregate, Volume 7, Issue 3, March 2026.
Aerogel scaffolds are emerging as multifunctional biomedical platforms that bridge regenerative engineering and molecular diagnostics. By integrating hierarchical porosity, tunable mechanics, and programmable surface chemistry, aerogels can simultaneously support tissue reconstruction and enable localized biomarker sampling and signal transduction ...

Phase‐Change Alloys Enable Localized Reversible Stiffening and Actuation in Steerable Eversion Tip‐Growing Robots

Advanced Intelligent Systems, Volume 8, Issue 3, March 2026.
This work presents a tip‐growing eversion robot that uses phase‐changing alloys for reversible stiffening and localized actuation, achieving 43× stiffness modulation, 15× force amplification, and segmental steering. The system enables precise navigation and force delivery in constrained, tortuous pathways.

Structured Macroporous SiC‐LaNiO3 Catalysts for Hydrogen Production via Visible‐Light Glycerol Photoreforming

International Journal of Ceramic Engineering &Science, Volume 8, Issue 2, March 2026.
Structured macroporous SiC foams functionalized with LaNiO3 perovskite enable visible‐light photoreforming of glycerol into hydrogen, achieving a 59% increase in activity over bare SiC. The hybrid catalyst combines robust architecture, high light absorption, and sustainable manufacturing, demonstrating an efficient method for solar‐driven hydrogen ...

Stuck on Glass: A Review of Polymer and Polymer Nanoparticle Composite Coatings in Glass Technology

International Journal of Ceramic Engineering &Science, Volume 8, Issue 2, March 2026.
Representation of the different regions during the withdrawal stage of dip coating. As the substrate is pulled upward out of the coating solution, the solution is either dragged up with it by surface forces or falls back into the container from gravitational forces.

Thermo‐Oxidative Stability of Materials: Assessment and Predictions

Chemistry–Methods, Volume 6, Issue 3, March 2026.
The article summarizes long‐term stability predictions based on non‐Arrhenian extrapolation of fast high‐temperature thermoanalytical measurements. The theory is applicable for the lifetime estimation of objects made of plastics and other organic materials which can be employed in the conservation of plastic artifacts.
