“…Nanoscale topographical features. Perthitic feldspars display a range of nanoscale topographical features including etch pits 36 that are formed by chemical attack at dislocations, nano-tunnels, which appear during solution-feldspar reactions at the sites of dislocations; 37 and 'pull aparts', which are nanoscale cracks found crossing albite lamellae. 37 Many of these may also be associated with larger-scale features such as micropores.…”

Our understanding of crystal nucleation is a limiting factor in many fields, not least in the atmospheric sciences. It was recently found that feldspar, a component of airborne desert dust, plays a dominant role in triggering ice formation in clouds, but the origin of this effect was unclear. By investigating the structure/property relationships of a wide range of feldspars, we demonstrate that alkali feldspars with certain microtextures, related to phase separation into Na and K-rich regions, show exceptional ice-nucleating abilities in supercooled water. We found no correlation between ice-nucleating efficiency and the crystal structures or the chemical compositions of these active feldspars, which suggests that specific topographical features associated with these microtextures are key in the activity of these feldspars. That topography likely acts to promote ice nucleation, improves our understanding of ice formation in clouds, and may also enable the design and manufacture of bespoke nucleating materials for uses such as cloud seeding and cryopreservation.

“…Generally speaking, both call for national ownership, the strengthening of institutions 4 and governance systems, and a long-term and strategic approach to supporting sustained peace and stability. 5 Despite the correlation between SSR and peace-building, literature analysing the SSR experience in post-conflict countries over the past 10 years indicates that operationallyfocused 'train and equip' SSR programmes will experience difficulties in the absence of parallel efforts to support the development of local governance practices and institutions to oversee the conduct and activities of the security forces. 6 Certainly, the UN SecretaryGeneral's report on SSR recognised the importance of normative and consultative frameworks, as well as institutional management and oversight mechanisms ('software') in security sector reform processes.…”

“…80 'I don't know that I should look forward to taking up these activities', wrote one, 'but I should hate to leave a fight after taking heavy blows'. 81 Others would have agreed with another internee who declared simply: 'the march is not ended'. 82 Ideological rededication was often accompanied, however, by a sense of spiritual cleansing or personal rebirth for the activist himself.…”

This article examines the varying experiences of British fascists interned without trial in May 1940. As Arthur Koestler noted in his 1952 Arrow in the Blue, 'to be converted or convinced is a more or less sharply defined act; to lose a conviction is a long process of wear and tear'. By understanding internment to have represented just such a 'watershed', the experience of British fascists is revealed as a fascinating case study of political religion and by extension as a prime example of the binding power of 'coterie charisma'. By conceptualising the experience of internment in such a manner, this article also explores the psychological processes that prevented the ideological death of British fascism. Focusing upon British fascism's interpretation of internment as a cleansing crucible that intensified the political fanaticism of those who passed through it, it reveals the pivotal role that political religion played in the ideological transmission of the 'sacred flame' of British fascism into the immediate post-war period and beyond. By examining internment as a transcendent, faith-based experience, this article will argue that the reaffirmation of commitment to British fascism and, in many cases, to Sir Oswald Mosley personally, together forged a necessary 'myth' of internment through which the defeat and privation experienced by individual fascist activists during the Second World War could be reinterpreted and rationalised not as defeat but as the harbinger of a new dawn, after which fascism would emerge triumphant.
