Exploring the Landscape of MgO Polymorphs: Stability and the Electronic Band Gap of Promising Candidates

Zeitschrift für anorganische und allgemeine Chemie, EarlyView.
In this study, we have investigated possible predicted polymorphs of magnesium oxide (MgO) with respect to their thermodynamic and kinetic stability, as well as their electronic properties, focusing on the possibility of tuning the band gap of the material.

Sharp force trauma analysis without animal bones: A proposal for sustainable and ethical bone proxies

Journal of Forensic Sciences, EarlyView.
Abstract Sharp force trauma has been the leading cause of homicide in England and Wales for more than a decade. Experimental research on sharp force trauma frequently relies on animal bone as a substitute for human remains, yet their ethical acceptability and comparability to human bone remain contested.

3D‐printed wound channels

Journal of Forensic Sciences, EarlyView.
Abstract Although soft tissue simulants are widely used in ballistic research, glycerine soap is the only material that offers a clear view of the temporary cavity of a wound channel without the use of optical apparatus. However, the latter still shows some inconvenience mostly on its weight and its dehydration process when cut, making it challenging ...

Thermal persistence and physicochemical modification of inorganic gunshot residue (IGSR)

Journal of Forensic Sciences, EarlyView.
Abstract In the medicolegal context, GSR analysis plays a key role in clarifying the dynamics of firearm‐related deaths, including lesion identification and firing distance determination. However, postmortem alterations of the body, such as thermal exposure, may influence the analysis of lesions and complicate interpretation.

The Dual‐Use Conundrum of the Lisbon Treaty Regarding Space Governance: Solutions Through International Legal Interpretation?

Global Policy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT An inherent divide features within the Lisbon Treaty between civilian and military/security competences; something previously more obvious via the ‘pillar system's’ separations. This division follows the Member States (MS) (natural) protection of their military/defence autonomy; their core sovereign powers.

The Unintended Consequences of German Deterrence

Global Policy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Germany's evolving deterrence posture boils down to continued participation in NATO nuclear sharing and an ambitious conventional rearmament program. Due to its non‐nuclear status and a result of decades of underinvestment, Germany prioritizes modern conventional weapons.

Between Hedging and Bandwagoning: E3 and Iran's Nuclear Program From the JCPOA to the 2026 “Ramadan War”

Global Policy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This article examines the evolution of the European Troika's narratives on Iran's nuclear program, from the aftermath of the JCPOA to the 2026 “Ramadan War.” Drawing on an analysis of 55 official statements by E3 leaders and diplomats, the study traces how the E3 shifted between a posture of normative hedging and one of bandwagoning.
