Challenges in first-principles NPT molecular dynamics of soft porous crystals: a case study on MIL-53(Ga). [PDF]
Soft porous crystals present a challenge to molecular dynamics simulations with flexible size and shape of the simulation cell (i.e., in the NPT ensemble), since their framework responds very sensitively to small external stimuli. Hence, all interactions

Durable institution under fire? The NPT confronts emerging multipolarity
The regime built around the 1970 Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT) has helped curtail the spread of nuclear arms for fifty years. In hindsight, it is remarkable only nine states possess the world’s most powerful weapon.

Treaties can be denounced and withdrawn from unilaterally and collectively. We ask when it would be legitimate to abandon the NPT, a treaty that 50 years ago committed states to nuclear non-proliferation and disarmament, but still has not delivered on ...

NPT as an antifragile system: How contestation improves the nonproliferation regime
We introduce “antifragility” as a conceptual framework to understand the impact of occasional violations of regime norms on the health of respective regimes.

An Introduction to Implementing the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons
The 2017 Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons (TPNW) is a significant international achievement, although it faces opposition from the nuclear-armed states and some of their allies because it is intended to create impetus for a transition away ...

Near peer teaching (NPT) is becoming recognized as a valuable instrument with advantages for both students and teachers. Despite the recognized benefits, NPT programmes are not usually embedded within university healthcare curricula and, to our knowledge,

New classes of n-copy undistillable quantum states with negative partial transposition [PDF]
The discovery of entangled quantum states from which one cannot distill pure entanglement constitutes a fundamental recent advance in the field of quantum information. Such bipartite bound-entangled (BE) quantum states \emph{could} fall into two distinct
