Evidence date ·How repairing tiny defects helps silicone stay water-repellent
Peer-Reviewed PaperA 2021 lab study shows how silicone coatings regain water repellency after damage and why practical use in condensation equipment still needs testing.
-
Evidence date ·How repairable materials help flexible sensors recover function
Review or Meta-AnalysisA review explains how reversible polymer bonds support repair, what sensor tests show, and why damage severity and healing conditions shape recovery.
-
Evidence date ·How liquids and protective seals could mend aircraft materials
Review or Meta-AnalysisA 2022 review explains how potential aircraft materials could repair small cracks, what limits repeat repair, and how heat and oxygen shape the process.

Evidence date ·Turning porous metal-and-organic scaffolds into hollow absorbers
Review or Meta-AnalysisWhy carbon and magnetic particles work together, how hollow shapes survive heating, and what frequency, thickness, and loading mean for absorption.
-
Evidence date ·Starting with how a material should bend, stretch, or absorb energy
Review or Meta-AnalysisSoftware predicts how shapes behave and proposes new ones. A review explains how digital geometry and simulation checks guide the search for useful structures.
-
Evidence date ·Designing porous materials around what their pores can do
Review or Meta-AnalysisA review explains how pores can accommodate or separate molecules, and how fabrication and added materials expand the choices for material design.
-
Evidence date ·Crown shine and smoothness can tell different stories
Peer-Reviewed PaperTests on 14 resin crown materials show why shine and smoothness need separate checks, what the exceptions mean, and where conclusions about dental care stop.
-
Evidence date ·Making sense of a medicine’s memory effects and treatment benefits
Review or Meta-AnalysisA 2024 mechanistic review explores how memory side effects differ from later dementia risk, and why the benefits of familiar medicines still matter.
