Evaluating Plasma Torches as a Low‐Decarburization Preheating Method for MgO–C Refractory Linings

steel research international, EarlyView.
This study evaluates direct current (DC) plasma torches using nitrogen as an alternative preheating method for magnesia‐carbon (MgO–C) refractory‐lined ladles. Full‐scale trials at 0.7 and 1.5 MW are compared to conventional gas burner. Plasma‐heated samples show lower decarburization and improved surface integrity due to partial sintering and reduced ...

Effects of Exposure to Radiation and Steam on Silicone Rubber Cables Removed From a Nuclear Power Plant

High Voltage, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Low‐voltage cables insulated with silicone rubber were harvested from three locations in the primary containment vessel of a boiling water nuclear power plant (NPP). Subsequently, the cable, which was placed in an ambient environment with a relatively higher temperature and the highest rate, was cut into four shorter ones.

Uncovering the Key Factors Influencing Phytochemical and Phytopharmacological Properties During Medicinal Plant Processing

eFood, Volume 7, Issue 1, February 2026.
From farm to pharma, this review details the engineering of quality in medicinal plants through a science‐driven approach: it first elucidates how genetic and environmental factors inscribe the plant's phytochemical and phytopharmacological profile before harvest, and then dissects the postharvest techniques and technologies—chemical and thermal pre ...

Recycling of Polyurethane Waste: Facile Hydrothermal Conversion Using Acidic and Basic Additives

ChemSusChem, Volume 19, Issue 1, January 2026.
Ethylenediamine efficiently catalyses the hydrothermal recycling of polyurethane (PU) into monomers. The NH functional groups promote carbamic acid decomposition via zwitterion interactions, outperforming inorganic acids and bases, and enabling selective depolymerisation of PU under mild conditions for circular chemical utilisation.

Techniques and Advances in Ultrafast Photography

Advanced Photonics Research, Volume 6, Issue 12, December 2025.
This review maps the fast‐growing field of ultrafast photography from early mechanical cameras to modern optical‐computational methods. It organizes techniques into four families (multishot passive/active; single‐shot passive/active), explains how they reach trillion‐frame‐per‐second speeds, compares capabilities and tradeoffs, and highlights ...

Slags as Thermal Energy Storage Media for Concentrated Solar Power and Renewable Energy Integration

Energy Storage, Volume 7, Issue 8, December 2025.
ABSTRACT The growing demand for low‐cost, high‐performance thermal energy storage (TES) materials has prompted interest in repurposing metallurgical slags in concentrated solar power (CSP) systems. This review critically evaluates the potential of various steel, copper, and aluminum slags as high‐temperature TES media in packed‐bed configurations ...

One‐Pot Upcycling of Heterogeneous Polyester Waste to Biodegradable Thermoplastics: A Cost‐Effective Solution for a Circular Economy

SusMat, Volume 5, Issue 6, December 2025.
One‐pot melt transesterification upcycles post‐consumer PET and PBT with PTMG into biodegradable TPEEs featuring randomized polyester chains, tunable mechanical properties, and accelerated biodegradation. TEA and LCA analyses show competitive cost and reduced carbon emissions relative to PP and PBAT.

Evolution of Terrestrial Planetary Bodies and Implications for Habitability

Reviews of Geophysics, Volume 63, Issue 4, December 2025.
Abstract The terrestrial planetary bodies of our solar system—Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars—share a common origin through nebular accretion and early magma ocean differentiation, yet they diverged significantly in geological evolution, tectonic regimes, and habitability.
