Elementary Steps of Energy Conversion in Strongly Correlated Systems: Beyond Single Quasiparticles and Rigid Bands

ENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, Volume 9, Issue 6, November 2026.
This article reviews the fundamental consequences of strong correlations on excitations and elementary steps of energy conversion leading to new opportunities to control energy conversion. Examples include friction at surfaces, thermal transport, and photovoltaic energy conversion.

Numerical and Experimental Evaluation of a Simplified Lateral Spring Formulation for Rocking Structures

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, Volume 55, Issue 14, Page 3540-3560, November 2026.
ABSTRACT Rocking podium isolation systems have gained significant research interest as a method of limiting seismic demands on superstructures and eliminating residual post‐earthquake drifts through self‐centring behaviour. However, while numerous models of varying complexity, including analytical, phenomenological, and physical formulations, have been

Advances in Floating Solar Desalination Systems

Water and Environment Journal, Volume 40, Issue 4, Page 539-565, November 2026.
This review critically classifies floating solar desalination systems into five main categories and compares their thermal performance, productivity and technological limitations. Membrane‐based and multieffect systems showed the highest efficiencies, while traditional designs remain limited by heat losses and scaling.

Toward On‐Chip Nascent All‐van‐der‐Waals Polarization Optical Elements for Nanoscale Photonic Applications

Nanophotonics, Volume 15, Issue 20, 27 October 2026.
Twisted ReSe2/α−MoO3 van der Waals heterostructures pave the way towards next‐generation polarization nanophotonic applications, where combining two biaxial layers—a triclinic source of linearly polarized emission and an orthorhombic polarization‐conversion slab—establishes a practical route for fully integrated on‐chip all‐van der Waals polarization ...
