AI‐Driven Predictive Design and Functionalization of Three Dimensional‐Printed PEEK Implants with Tryptophan‐Enriched Alginate Hydrogel for Enhanced Biomimetic Surface Performance

Advanced Intelligent Systems, Volume 8, Issue 2, February 2026.
This study introduces an AI‐guided strategy to design 3D‐printed PEEK implants functionalized with a tryptophan‐enriched alginate hydrogel (TRYALPEEK). The modification improves hydrophilicity, reduces surface roughness, enhances cytocompatibility, and optimizes stress distribution. The platform offers a promising route for personalized implant design,

Dusty Streets: The Challenge of Dust‐Borne Pollutants in Low‐Income Countries

CLEAN – Soil, Air, Water, Volume 54, Issue 2, February 2026.
Generally, pollution impacts developed and low‐income countries (LICs) to different extents, and the disease burden due to roadway dust is not uniformly distributed across socio‐economic classes. Roadway dust materials from paved and unpaved urban and rural roads were reported to contain organic constituents which are toxic and affect public health ...
