FEATURED ARTICLE

LLNL Researchers Chart Progress in Architected Materials That Respond to External Stimuli

Recent advances in preprogrammed architected materials could enable new functions that can evolve in response to their environments or external stimuli, according to Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) researchers. In a paper published by Nature Reviews Materials, LLNL researchers provide an overview of the progress made in responsive architected materials that can morph into a particular shape and exhibit…

Featured Notable Technical Inquiry

Reaction of Reactive Skin Decontamination Lotion (RSDL) With Nerve Agents Sarin (GB) and Soman (GD) and Forming Degradation Products

Reactive skin decontamination liquid (RSDL) is shown to decontaminate several chemical warfare agents. The process by which RSDL neutralizes is not fully understood. A literature search was performed to determine if any test data exist for the decontamination of nerve agents sarin and soman and the production of hydrolysis products, such as isopropyl methylphosphonate, pinacolyl methylphosphonate, and methyl phosphonate, or any other reaction products identified….
