Evidence date ·Tiny carbon tubes and a metal framework help measure chlorpromazine
Peer-Reviewed PaperWhat an experimental drug sensor’s detection limit, measurement range, and urine-and-serum recovery results reveal about its ability to measure concentrations.
-
Evidence date ·One coating targets clots and inflammation where devices meet blood
Peer-Reviewed PaperHeparin, a responsive polymer and encapsulated aspirin have distinct roles in an experimental coating. What do the tests mean for device use?
-
Evidence date ·An iron-based coating and graphene oxide detect dexamethasone at low voltage
Peer-Reviewed PaperAn iron-based sensor turns dexamethasone into a current response. Its 2024 laboratory tests show useful sensitivity, with broader validation still needed.

Evidence date ·How polymer composites repair cracks and where healing falls short
Review or Meta-AnalysisA 2024 review explains how capsules and reversible bonds repair polymer composites, and why laboratory recovery needs more testing before use in components.
-
Evidence date ·Pausing asphalt binder tests separates recovery from fatigue performance
PreprintA preprint compares asphalt binders to separate recovery from fatigue performance, showing why damage before a pause matters and where road claims must stop.
-
Evidence date ·Understanding the designs behind materials that repair damage
PreprintA 2024 preprint explains ways to organize self-healing material designs and potential uses. Its abstract cannot establish performance in real components.
-
Evidence date ·From compression to new connections inside a gel
PreprintA gel study links force-triggered chemistry to recovery after five minutes of compression and three days of waiting. What does its healing measure mean?
-
Evidence date ·How porous covalent triazine frameworks could put sunlight to work
Review or Meta-AnalysisA review of lab evidence explains how synthesis, defects, interfaces, and shape help porous catalysts separate charge, with practical use still unproven.

Evidence date ·Smarter spinal-fusion cage designs face an unsettled test of patient benefit
Review or Meta-AnalysisTitanium, PEEK plastic, 3D printing, biodegradable materials and expandable cages address different fusion problems, with mixed evidence of patient benefit.

Evidence date ·How surface patterns and internal layers shape a radiation detector’s light pulse
Review or Meta-AnalysisSurface patterns recover trapped light, while layers can alter emission or add a prompt pulse. A May 2024 review explains the gains and absorption tradeoffs.
