Nanostructured Clays Used as Carriers for Controlled Delivery of Antibacterial Compounds From Direct Restorative Dental Materials: A Scoping Review

open access: yesClinical and Experimental Dental Research, Volume 11, Issue 5, October 2025.
ABSTRACT Objective Through a scoping review, this study meticulously mapped and characterized these nanostructured clays used to release antibacterial active compounds from direct restorative dental materials. Material and Methods The systematic approach involved searches in the PubMed/MEDLINE, Lilacs, Web of Science, Scopus, ScienceDirect, and Embase ...

Gênese de solos derivados de rochas ultramáficas serpentinizadas no sudoeste de Minas Gerais Genesis of soils formed from ultramafic serpentinized rocks in southwestern Minas Gerais (Brazil)

open access: yesRevista Brasileira de Ciência do Solo, 2006
Os solos derivados de rochas serpentinizadas ou serpentinitos constituem um grupo especial de solos em toda superfície terrestre. De caráter ultramáfico, ou seja, rochas com mais de 70 % de minerais máficos (ferromagnesianos), os serpentinitos apresentam

Interstratified Illite‐Hydroxy‐Interlayered Smectite—A Disorder Structure Model for Quantification Using Rietveld Refinement

open access: yesJournal of Plant Nutrition and Soil Science, Volume 188, Issue 5, Page 801-812, October 2025.
ABSTRACT Background The acidic weathering of soils is known as a problem for decades. It leads to the deterioration of essential soil properties, including soil fertility, water, or cation buffering capacity due to solution and solid storage of Al3+ by polymerization in the interlayer of (former) swellable clay minerals.

Structural iron in dioctahedral and trioctahedral smectites: a polarized XAS study [PDF]

open access: yesPhysics and Chemistry of Minerals, 2015
The chemical form of structural Fe in smectites influences many physicochemical properties of these clay minerals. Powder EXAFS data for structural Fe in smectites have been reported; however, the preferred orientation of clay platelets with respect to the X-ray beam may lead to erroneous conclusions on the local chemical environment.

Multiple Episodes of Fluid Alteration in Jezero Crater Indicated by MIST Mineral Identifications in PIXL XRF Data From the First 1100 Sols of the Mars 2020 Mission

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 130, Issue 9, September 2025.
Abstract The Mineral Identification by Stoichiometry (MIST) algorithm can identify mineral species in geochemical data sets. MIST is applied to X‐ray fluorescence chemical analyses from the Planetary Instrument for X‐ray Lithochemistry (PIXL) on the Mars 2020 Perseverance rover to identify mineral phases in abraded rock targets at Jezero crater.
