Enhancing strength and sustainability of concrete with steel slag aggregate by Ibrahim Kamal Ibrahim, Mohammed Rady, Nouran M. Tawfik, Mahmoud Kassem, Sameh Youssef Mahfouz

“…Abstract This study investigates the transformation of steel slag, a by-product of the steel industry, into a sustainable construction material by substituting it for natural aggregates in concrete mixtures. To this end, we have conducted an experimental program that evaluated 28 mix designs, along with a control mix based on natural aggregates, cement, silica fume, and chemical admixtures, to assess the effects of replacing natural aggregates with steel slag. …”

Aggregation‐induced emission biomarkers for early detection of orthopaedic implant failure by Javad Tavakoli, Qi Hu, Joanne L. Tipper, Youhong Tang

“…Unfortunately, current clinical practices lack effective methods for the early detection of implant failure, and there is a noticeable absence of strategies utilizing molecular markers to identify post‐surgery implant issues. This article critically assesses the potential of aggregation‐induced emission (AIE) biomarkers in detecting molecular markers relevant to implant failure. …”
