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?

Stimuli‐Responsive Afterglow from Luminescent Liquid Crystal Elastomers

Advanced Materials, Volume 38, Issue 7, 2 February 2026.
An active glow luminescent system for encoding, signaling, and tracking in dark environments has been developed by integrating inorganic ultralong afterglow phosphors with adaptive liquid crystal elastomer actuators. Abstract Stimuli‐responsive luminescent polymeric materials which combine afterglow emission with mechanical flexibility and adaptability

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 ...

Adaptive Fuzzy PID Control of Two‐DOF Pneumatic Artificial Muscle Manipulators for Leg Rehabilitation

Engineering Reports, Volume 8, Issue 2, February 2026.
Two‐degree‐of‐freedom manipulator driven by PAM. ABSTRACT Rehabilitation robots are machines that allow patients to perform practice movements and ought to be sufficiently compliant for safe human interaction. Most robots today use hydraulic systems and continually rotating servo motors, making them less suitable for rehabilitation.
