Cyclo‐N9−: a Novel 5/6 Fused Polynitrogen Anion for High Energy Density Materials
This study presents a novel 5/6 fused polynitrogen anion, cyclo‐N9−, which is assembled with four cations to form energetic salts. The computational results reveal that the energy densities and detonation performances of these systems are far superior, even surpassing those of CL‐20.

Scanning of Vehicles for Nuclear Materials [PDF]
Might a nuclear-armed terrorist group or state use ordinary commerce to deliver a nuclear weapon by smuggling it in a cargo container or vehicle? This delivery method would be the only one available to a sub-state actor, and it might enable a state to make an unattributed attack.

Measuring Very Low Radiation Doses in PTFE for Nuclear Forensic Enrichment Reconstruction [PDF]
Every country that has made nuclear weapons has used uranium enrichment. Despite the centrality of this technology to international security, there is still no reliable physical marker of past enrichment that can be used to perform forensic verification of historically produced weapons.

A hegemonic nuclear order: Understanding the Ban Treaty and the power politics of nuclear weapons
The notion of a “global nuclear order” has entered the lexicon of nuclear politics. The 2017 Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons has prompted further questions about how we understand it.

Strain localization along phase or grain boundaries leads to crack initiation typical of alloys. In multi‐principal element alloys, the enamel‐like microstructure is stabilized by phase boundaries. This facilitates trans‐phase migration of semi‐atomic surfaces and provides sufficient plastic space for dislocation‐mediated deformation.

Sensitivity of seismically cued antineutrino detectors to nuclear explosions [PDF]
We evaluate the sensitivity of large, gadolinium-doped water detectors to antineutrinos released by nuclear fission explosions, using updated signal and background models and taking advantage of the capacity for seismic observations to provide an analysis trigger.
