Evidence for the continental origin of Pliocene deposits in the central Baja California peninsula, Mexico, and implications for controls on biodiversity

Sedimentology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Previous studies have documented genetic divergence within the last few million years between northern and southern populations of terrestrial plants and animals along the Baja California peninsula, with many studies hypothesising that the divergence is due to an ancient seaway that crossed the central peninsula and created a physical barrier ...

Development of a Nano‐Hybrid Composite Using Bovine Hydroxyapatite and Montmorillonite for Endodontic Applications—An In Vitro Study

International Endodontic Journal, Volume 59, Issue 9, Page 1936-1953, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim Hydraulic calcium silicate cements are widely employed in endodontics due to their excellent biocompatibility, bioactivity, sealing ability, and remineralisation potential. However, currently used products such as mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) exhibit several limitations, including discolouration, cost, and poor handling properties ...

An Updated Classification of Hydraulic Cements Used in Dentistry

International Endodontic Journal, Volume 59, Issue 9, Page 1760-1765, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) was the first hydraulic cement used in endodontics. It is composed of Portland cement, a binder in concrete, and bismuth oxide to enhance the radiopacity. MTA was introduced in dentistry to be used as a root‐end filling material and also to repair root perforations.

Elephant‐Skin‐Inspired Porous Cementitious Tiles with Programmable Crack Networks for Passive Cooling

Advanced Materials, Volume 38, Issue 44, 7 August 2026.
Elephant‐skin‐inspired crack networks are programmed in porous diatomaceous earth (DE)‐cement composites using substrate‐guided, stress‐concentration induced fracture. The resulting crack lattices act as capillary conduits that redistribute water, while the porous matrix stores moisture.

Synergistic Effects of Silica and Calcium‐Based Dual Admixtures on the Flowability, Microstructure, and Strength Development in Low‐Carbon Concrete

Applied Research, Volume 5, Issue 4, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Eco‐friendly construction practices have emerged as a cornerstone of modern development. Due to the substantial carbon emissions from cement production, there is a growing demand for supplementary cementitious materials. This study investigated the synergistic effects of two different wastes, silica‐rich rice husk ash (RHA) and calcium‐rich ...

Influence of Self‐Cleaning Photocatalysts on the Engineering and Functional Properties of Paints and Composite Materials

Engineering Reports, Volume 8, Issue 8, August 2026.
Ni‐doped Ba2TiO3 nanophotocatalyst is incorporated into paint and cement composites to create light‐activated construction materials. Under solar irradiation, the material degrades nitrogen oxides and organic dyes into harmless products, imparting self‐cleaning behavior while simultaneously enhancing mechanical strength, offering a sustainable approach

Stability Evaluation and Parametric Optimization of Coal‐Concrete Composite Bearing Systems Under Mine‐Water‐Induced Deterioration: Experiments and FEINN Analysis

Energy Science &Engineering, Volume 14, Issue 8, Page 3697-3725, August 2026.
Mine‐water immersion tests reveal pronounced coal weakening (vs. minor concrete degradation), identifying coal pillars as the stability‐limiting component in composite dams. A coupled FEINN framework quantifies extreme‐pressure stability and ranks multi‐parameter designs via a normalized multi‐indicator scheme, enabling optimized dam configuration for ...

Polymaterial Lattice Discrete Particle Model for the Optimization of Lightweight Aggregate Concrete: Intragranular Fracture and Compression Behavior

International Journal for Numerical and Analytical Methods in Geomechanics, Volume 50, Issue 12, Page 4764-4779, 25 August 2026.
ABSTRACT Lightweight aggregate concrete (LWAC) offers clear advantages for sustainable construction, including reduced density and improved thermal insulation. However, its mechanical and fracture behavior is difficult to characterize due to the heterogeneity and brittle crushing of porous lightweight aggregates.
