Operando Monitoring of InterfacialChemistries and Potentials on Ni-Rich NCM811 Using Ambient PressureX-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy

Abstract Ni-rich layered transition metal (TM) oxides, such as Li1+x[Ni0.8Co0.1Mn0.1]1–xO2 (NCM811), are widely used as state-of-the-art cathode active materials (CAMs) in lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). At high Ni-contents, however, these materials suffer from surface instability,...

Burden of Disease in Pediatric Tumor-Induced Osteomalacia: A Literature Review

Tumor-induced osteomalacia (TIO) is an ultra-rare, paraneoplastic syndrome caused by tumors secreting fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23). In children, TIO may be mistaken for more common causes of rickets and osteomalacia, including monogenic forms, leading to long diagnostic de...

A Causal-Set Quantum-Measure Ansatz for Globally Identified Chronology-Violating Histories: Seam Actions, Propagator Divergences, and the Operational Agency Trilemma

This exploratory theoretical preprint investigates whether a discrete quantum-spacetime framework can accommodate globally identified chronology-violating histories while preserving local causal order. The model represents physical histories as marked triples consisting of an inf...
