Advanced Materials, Volume 38, Issue 1, 2 January 2026.Magnetic polymer sorbents featuring non‐per‐ and polyfluoroalkyl substances (non‐PFAS)‐based fluorinated and cationic groups enable selective and efficient removal of multiple PFAS from complex landfill leachate. By optimizing functional group balance and polymer design, the sorbents achieve >90% removal, excellent reusability, and outperform ...

Swelling Potential of Fine‐Grained Soil: Theory, Determination, and Validation
Water Resources Research, Volume 62, Issue 1, January 2026.Abstract Swelling potential (SP) has long been used as a terminology to describe a soil's expansibility. It is commonly defined in terms of pressure or deformation under certain constraints. However, fundamentally, SP originates from the soil‐water interactions in the interlayer space of expansive minerals and should not depend on displacement or force

Elastic Properties of Concrete Incorporating Ogugu Lateritic Sand as Fine Aggregate
The Journal of Engineering, Volume 2026, Issue 1, January/December 2026.This study investigates the substitution of conventional fine aggregate with Ogugu lateritic sand in concrete grades 25 and 50, focusing on elastic behavior and strength development. The results show that laterized concrete achieves significant strength gains over time, with grade 25 compressive strength increasing from 14.11 N/mm2 at 3 days to 32.27 N/
