Annexation Attempts as a Two-Level Game: Israel and the West Bank in 1967 and 2020 (2024)
Journal Article
Geist Pinfold, R., & Eiran, E. (2024). Annexation Attempts as a Two-Level Game: Israel and the West Bank in 1967 and 2020. Journal of Global Security Studies, 9(2), Article ogae013. https://doi.org/10.1093/jogss/ogae013

Annexation attempts threaten international security and the rules-based world order. Yet, studies of annexation are rare, whilst the scant relevant literature is great-power centric. This article therefore asks why some non-great power annexations su... Read More about Annexation Attempts as a Two-Level Game: Israel and the West Bank in 1967 and 2020.

Inferring the dark matter splashback radius from cluster gas and observable profiles in the FLAMINGO simulations (2024)
Journal Article

The splashback radius, coinciding with the minimum in the dark matter radial density gradient, is thought to be a universal definition of the edge of a dark matter halo. Observational methods to detect it have traced the dark matter using weak gravit...

Reduced stress propagation leads to increased mechanical failure resistance in auxetic materials (2024)
Journal Article
Fielding, S. M. (2024). Reduced stress propagation leads to increased mechanical failure resistance in auxetic materials. Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 121(21), Article e2312899121. https://doi.org/10.1073/pnas.2312899121

Materials with a negative Poisson ratio have the counterintuitive property of expanding laterally when they are stretched longitudinally. They are accordingly termed auxetic, from the Greek auxesis meaning to increase. Experimental studies have demon...
