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?

Frontiers in the Management of Orthopaedic Periprosthetic Joint Infection

Journal of Orthopaedic Research, Volume 44, Issue 2, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) is a devastating complication of total joint arthroplasty (TJA), one of the most frequently performed surgical procedures worldwide. Management of acute PJI commonly involves debridement, antibiotics, and implant retention (DAIR), though failure rates remain high due to antibiotic‐tolerant biofilms. Chronic

Design Principles and Mechanics: A Review of Emerging Paradigms in Intervertebral Disc Regeneration and Replacement

Macromolecular Materials and Engineering, Volume 311, Issue 2, February 2026.
Low back pain, a major global cause of disability, arises primarily from intervertebral disc (IVD) degeneration and imposes significant socioeconomic impacts, especially in aging and obese populations. Current treatments, fusion and total disc replacement, fail to fully replicate native disc biomechanics.
