Radiative Cooling by Green(er) Solvents‐Upcycled Polyvinyl Chloride From Drug Blisters Waste
This study explores upcycling poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC) from used pharmaceutical blisters into sustainable radiative cooling materials. Using solvent separation and membrane fabrication, PVC was converted into white membranes paired with aluminum foil.

Numerical assessment of shear force redistribution in beam-slab systems due to incompatible kinematic assumptions [PDF]
In finite element analysis, shear force in a Timoshenko beam can be grossly underestimated if the beam is coupled with a thin (Kirchhoff) plate in the finite element mesh.

The Hellan-Herrmann-Johnson Method for Nonlinear Shells
In this paper we derive a new finite element method for nonlinear shells. The Hellan-Herrmann-Johnson (HHJ) method is a mixed finite element method for fourth order Kirchhoff plates.

Low-complexity computation of plate eigenmodes with Vekua approximations and the Method of Particular Solutions [PDF]
This paper extends the Method of Particular Solutions (MPS) to the computation of eigenfrequencies and eigenmodes of plates. Specific approximation schemes are developed, with plane waves (MPS-PW) or Fourier-Bessel functions (MPS-FB). This framework also

Surface Plasmon Enhanced Photoluminescence of Carbon Dots Formed In Situ on Silver Gratings
Carbon emitters formed in situ on a silver grating via plasmonic catalysis yield enhanced spontaneous emission by preferential radiative decay into surface plasmons. Enhancement manifests as emission exhibiting characteristics of coherence (polarization, directionality), and accelerated lifetimes of ∼30 ps, yielding Purcell factors of ∼70.
