Influence of Build-Plate Position and Sequential Printing on the Colour Fidelity of Vat-Photopolymerised Microhybrid Resins

This study demonstrates that while two dental microhybrid resin workflows (SPC and ADT) exhibit high short-term intrinsic colour consistency with deviations well below perceptibility thresholds, they display material-specific spatial and run-dependent variations that highlight the need for attention to resin homogenisation and build-plate process control.

SynEPD: a curated mechanistic data resource with electron-pushing annotations and hierarchical taxonomy for polar organic reactions

The paper introduces SynEPD, a curated dataset of 1,926 mass- and charge-balanced polar organic reactions that uniquely integrates hierarchical taxonomy, atom-mapped transformations, and structured electron-pushing annotations to enable mechanistic retrieval, template mining, and the development of predictive models for electron flow.

Beyond Floc Growth: Unlocking Post-Precipitation CaF2 Removal through Magnetic Nanocoagulation

This study introduces a magnetic nanocoagulation strategy for semiconductor wastewater that overcomes the limitations of traditional floc growth by utilizing size-dependent Fe3O4 nanoparticles to first capture non-magnetic CaF2 precipitates via Brownian motion and then rapidly separate them through magnetic addressability, a process further enhanced by confinement-induced interfacial water reorganization.

Physicochemical Insights into the Antibacterial Performance of Green-Synthesized CeO₂@ Se Nanocomposites against Gram-Positive and Gram-Negative Bacteria

This study demonstrates that green-synthesized CeO₂–Se nanocomposites, prepared using Eucalyptus globulus leaf extract without post-treatment, exhibit concentration-dependent antibacterial activity that is significantly more effective against Gram-positive Staphylococcus aureus than Gram-negative Escherichia coli, with performance governed by the material's physicochemical properties including phase composition, surface charge, and nanoscale morphology.

Evaluation of comfort properties of socks produced from different regenerated cellulosic yarns considering moisture management properties"

This study evaluates the moisture management and comfort properties of socks made from Viscose, Bamboo, and Tencel regenerated cellulosic yarns produced on 200n and 168n gauge machines, finding that while machine gauge had no significant impact, Tencel socks produced on the 200n gauge exhibited the best overall moisture management performance.
