Engineered surface strategies to manage dental implant‐related infections

Periodontology 2000, EarlyView.
Abstract When exposed to the oral environment, dental implants, like natural surfaces, become substrates for microbial adhesion and accumulation, often leading to implant‐related infections—one of the main causes of implant failure. These failures impose significant costs on patients, clinicians, and healthcare systems.

Emerging locally delivered antimicrobial and immunomodulatory approaches for the prevention/treatment of peri‐implant diseases

Periodontology 2000, EarlyView.
Abstract Peri‐implant diseases are dysbiosis‐mediated inflammatory disorders that occur in susceptible hosts. Antimicrobials and immunomodulatory agents therefore might be pertinent as adjunctive measures in the treatment of such disorders. The aim of this narrative review was to examine the existing evidence and assess the effectiveness of emerging ...

Elemental Composition Analysis of Sheep Tears Using Particle‐Induced X‐Ray Emission

Veterinary Ophthalmology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective To identify the elemental composition of ovine tears using particle‐induced X‐ray emission (PIXE). Animals Studied Ten physically healthy female sheep. Procedures Tear samples were collected using Schirmer tear test strips. Tear samples were collected once daily over five consecutive days to assess reproducibility. Elemental analysis

A Consistent Approach to One Coordinate Pnictide Moieties M≡Pn− Using PnH2− Salts (M = Zr, Ti; Pn = P, As, Sb).

Angewandte Chemie, Volume 138, Issue 6, 2 February 2026.
One coordinate pnictide (Pn3− = P, As, and Sb) salts of TiIV and ZrIV were prepared using PnH2− as pnictogen atom transfer from suitable TiII and ZrIV complexes through H2 extrusion. This strategy allows access to unprecedented 3d and 4d terminal stibides, alongside phosphide and arsenide analogues, enabling systematic comparisons across the Pn group ...

High‐Concentration Mesogen‐Assisted Exfoliation of Low‐Dimensional Nanomaterials for Achieving Ultralow‐Temperature Actuations of Liquid Crystal Elastomers

Advanced Functional Materials, Volume 36, Issue 12, 9 February 2026.
Most matter is nominally frozen in the polar regions or space, and liquid crystal materials are no exception. Consequently, soft actuators, including liquid crystal elastomers (LCEs), are inoperative under such extreme cold in response to stimuli, as their motion relies on mechanical deformation.

Transformative Bioactive Wear Resistant Ti3Au:N and Ti3Au:O Coatings for Medical Implants and Devices

Advanced Healthcare Materials, Volume 15, Issue 6, 9 February 2026.
Coatings of titanium‐gold are grown in nitrogen and oxygen environments via magnetron sputtering to simultaneously enhance their biotribological and antibacterial properties. The coatings are highly crystalline with superhard scratch‐resistant surfaces and wear rates 20 times lower than the bare Ti‐6Al‐4V substrate.

The Promise of Solid Lubricants for a Sustainable Future

Advanced Materials, Volume 38, Issue 8, 6 February 2026.
Lubricants are vital for technology, saving energy and resources. The industry seeks sustainable solutions beyond fossil fuels. Solid lubricants offer extremely low friction and reduce environmental impact, especially in harsh conditions. Can these solids truly replace liquid lubricants, or are they limited to extreme applications?
