- Neogene volcanism in southeastern Iberian Peninsula led to the formation of volcanic structures and accumulated pyroclastic materials, resulting in the unique zeolite deposit around San José-Los Escullos.
- The research aimed to characterize this natural zeolite (SZ) for its mineral, chemical, and technical properties, assessing its potential use as a natural pozzolan, particularly in cement mixtures.
- Analysis methods included XRD, SEM, XRF, and TGA, confirming the presence of reactive minerals and demonstrating that the zeolite samples exhibited good quality pozzolanic reactivity over time.
Elementary cellular automata are the simplest form of cellular automata, studied extensively by Wolfram in the 1980s. He discovered complex behavior in some of these automata and developed a classification for all cellular automata based on their phenomenology. In this paper, we present an algorithm to classify them more effectively by measuring difference patterns using the Hamming distance.

- The study investigates using density functional theory (DFT) to design biodegradable hydrogels for capturing carbon dioxide (CO) to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
- The research identifies four hydrogel models—polyethylene glycol, polyvinylpyrrolidone, chitosan, and poly-2-hydroxymethacrylate—that show strong binding affinities to CO, with binding energies indicating physisorption.
- Findings suggest that these materials are stable at high temperatures and highlight the potential for developing new CO capture technologies, although further optimization and environmental performance assessments are needed.
Ternary blended cements, made with silica fume and limestone, provide significant benefits such as improved compressive strength, chloride penetration resistance, sulfates attack, etc. Furthermore, they could be considered low-carbon cements, and they contribute to reducing the depletion of natural resources in reference to water usage, fossil fuel consumption, and mining. Limestone (10%, 15%, and 20%) with different fineness and coarse silica fume (3%, 5%, and 7%) was used to produce ternary cements.
