Article Abstract
The fate of the persistent OP nerve agent O-ethyl S-[2-(diisopropylamino)ethyl] methylphosphonothioate (VX) on granular activated carbons that are used for gas filtration was studied by means of 31P magic angle spinning (MAS) NMR spectroscopy. VX as vapor or liquid was adsorbed on carbon granules, and MAS NMR spectra were recorded periodically. The results show that at least 90% of the adsorbed VX decomposes within 20 days or less to the nontoxic ethyl methylphosphonic acid (EMPA) and bis(S-2-diisopropylaminoethane) {(DES)2}. Decomposition occurred irrespective of the phase from which VX was loaded, the presence of metal impregnation on the carbon surface, and the water content of the carbon. Theoretical and practical aspects of the degradation are discussed.

Supercapacitors, comprising electrical double-layer capacitors (EDLCs) and pseudocapacitors, are widely acknowledged as high-power energy storage devices. However, their local structures and fundamental mechanisms remain poorly understood, and suitable experimental techniques for investigation are also lacking. Recently, nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) has emerged as a powerful tool for addressing these fundamental issues with high local sensitivity and non-invasiveness.

Elastomer blends, among which natural rubber (NR) and butadiene rubber (BR), are involved in many components of the automotive/tire industry. A comprehensive understanding of their mechanical behavior requires, among other features, a detailed description of the cross-link density in these mixtures. In the case of vulcanized immiscible blends, the distribution of the cross-link density within each of the NR- and BR-rich domains is key information, but difficult to determine using the conventional approaches used for one-component cross-linked elastomers.

Chocolates and other cocoa products represent a multibillion-dollar industry that has faced significant price increases, largely due to a surge in cocoa plant diseases linked to climate change. One potential solution for mitigating cocoa prices involves the use of cocoa butter equivalents, substitutes, or replacers. Consequently, a rapid method for simultaneously determining multiple properties of cocoa derivatives can serve as a valuable tool for research and development of new products, quality control, and regulatory agencies to ensure compliance with cocoa product standards.

The thermodynamic equilibrium assumption often invoked in modeling ion migration in solid-state materials remains insufficient to capture the true migration behavior of Li ions, particularly in less-crystalline superionic conductors that exhibit anomalously high Li ion conductivity. Such materials challenge classical frameworks and necessitate a lattice dynamics-based perspective that explicitly accounts for nonequilibrium phonon interactions and transient structural responses. Here, we uncover a phonon-governed Li ion migration mechanism in garnet-structured superionic conductors by comparing Ta-doped LiLaZrTaO (LLZTO4) to its undoped analogue, LiLaZrAlO (LLZO).

Oral lichen planus (OLP) is a chronic T-cell-mediated autoimmune disease, with low potential for malignant transformation. Its etiology remains unclear, necessitating immunohistochemical and molecular-level studies to enhance diagnosis and management. Thirteen patients diagnosed with OLP and 13 healthy controls (HCs) were enrolled from three centers.
