A Modern Roman‐Inspired Concrete with Daytime Radiative Cooling Capacity
Coolcrete, inspired by ancient Roman concrete, is a new cementitious material with photonic properties enabling passive daytime radiative cooling. Made from quicklime and zeolites, it reduces cooling energy demand, lowers CO2 emissions, and may eliminate urban heat islands.

A computational procedure was developed to investigate the mechanical characteristics and implantation performance of a bioresorbable braided stent for the treatment of lower limb arteries and to compare it with a permanent metallic device. In silico bench tests showed that the bioresorbable stent generated substantially lower force magnitudes compared

Statistical Methods to Distinguish Shallow Moonquakes From Impacts
Abstract One of the biggest challenges in lunar seismology is accurately classifying seismic signals to evaluate impact and seismicity rates. While past studies have used qualitative differences for classification, we introduce quantitative methods to distinguish the most energetic signals: shallow moonquakes and natural impacts.
