Summary: Quaternary river sediments at Gaolingpo in Guangxi Province contain stone tools from Paleolithic and Neolithic ages, providing information about the influence of climate and environment on human activities. By studying the clay mineralogy and geochemistry of the sediments, paleoclimatic and environmental changes since the late Early Pleistocene can be reconstructed. The climate evolution of the Gaolingpo area can be divided into two stages with four sub-stages, with a generally humid climate in stage I and a subtropical humid climate in stage II.

Summary: A large number of mixed soils with different compositions exist in nature, and their physical parameters, especially the liquid limits, play a crucial role in determining their mechanical properties. The liquid limits of sand-clay mixtures are influenced by the types of original soils and the contents of each constituent. Researchers propose an empirical equation to predict the liquid limits of sand-clay mixtures based on the liquid limits of original clays and clay contents, and this method can be extended to predict the liquid limits of mixed soils with more types of original soils.

Summary: Clay bricks, popular in historical structures, need to be analyzed for their mechanical and chemical properties to prevent degradation and structural failure. This research focuses on clay bricks used in the heritage city of Kandy, Sri Lanka, from the 18th to the 21st centuries. The analysis reveals that optimal mechanical properties are related to water absorption rate and that regional mineralogical properties, such as high concentrations of calcium and trace elements like barium, potassium, strontium, and titanium, are present in most samples. The inclusion of ferrous also improves performance.

Summary: This study reports the discovery of putative fossils in jasper-carbonate banded iron formations from the Nuvvuagittuq Supracrustal Belt in Quebec. These fossils, which are hematite filaments and tubes, have characteristics that suggest both biological and abiotic origins. The presence of mineral associations, resemblance to younger microfossils, and similarities to modern Fe-bacteria indicate a possible biological origin. On the other hand, the presence of abiotic structures and the enrichment of certain minerals suggest complex prebiotic forms. These findings provide insight into the diversity of microbial ecosystems on early Earth and the potential for similar ecosystems on other planetary bodies.

Summary: In this study, the potential of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) inhibition to prevent vascular calcification, a leading indicator of cardiovascular disease, was investigated. It was found that EGFR inhibition reduced vascular calcification by hindering the release of calcifying extracellular vesicles (EVs) and also increased bone mineral density in mice with CKD. Furthermore, individuals with SNPs associated with elevated serum EGFR levels exhibited increased coronary artery calcium. These findings suggest that EGFR may be a novel therapeutic target for preventing pathological vascular calcification in CKD.

Summary: In this study, flotation muds (FM) derived from the recovery processes of precious metals contained in e-waste and exhausted catalysts were investigated. The FM was found to consist of an amorphous phase, which could be used as a secondary raw material (SRM) to produce a ceramic product (CFM). The chemical analysis, phase composition, microstructure, pore pattern, and technological properties of the CFM were determined using various analytical techniques. The CFM mainly comprised nepheline, pyroxene, and wollastonite as the main crystalline phases, with a minor amorphous phase as a compact interstitial matrix. The porous interconnected microstructure of the ceramic product did not negatively impact its mechanical properties, as evidenced by geo-mechanical tests.

Summary: Zinc-air batteries are gaining attention as safe battery alternatives due to their high theoretical energy densities and abundance of materials. However, improving their lifetime, stability, and avoiding degradation mechanisms remain challenges. In this study, a comprehensive analysis of commercial zinc-air batteries was conducted using in situ x-ray computed tomography (CT) measurements. The results showed that decreasing the discharge rate resulted in greater zinc reaction volume, and there was a direct correlation between the remaining zinc volume and the state-of-charge of the cell.

Summary: Rutile nano-TiO2 was loaded onto the surface of sericite to prepare sericite-rutile composite particles, which were then modified with HDTMS and sprayed onto the substrates to form sericite-rutile/HDTMS composite coatings with UV shielding and superhydrophobic self-cleaning properties. The coating exhibited good UV shielding rate and remained superhydrophobic after UV irradiation. The hierarchical structure of the sericite-rutile composite and the low surface energy of HDTMS contributed to the superhydrophobicity and UV shielding effect of the coating.

Summary: Environmental conditions significantly influence clay minerals, and studying clay sediments in tropical lakes can provide valuable insights into past environmental conditions. In this study, multiproxy records from sediment cores of three crater lakes in central Mexico were analyzed. The results showed that disordered kaolinite, formed through hydrolysis and hydrothermal alteration, was the predominant mineral in the sediments. The abundance of kaolinite varied in relation to organic carbon and organic matter-related elements, and showed opposite trends with lithogenic elements. Geochemical data suggested that the increase in kaolinite abundance is linked to the formation of organo-mineral aggregates and lake level changes in closed basins.
