Twelve long-form research papers — peer-reviewable primary-source synthesis of the NP1 thesis. Each paper is independently downloadable, structured with Schema.org ScholarlyArticle, cross-linked to the validation datasets and truth-loop index, and released under CC-BY-4.0.
NP1 purity architecture and the 99.99 % threshold
Why 99.99 % (four-nines) nickel is not a marketing round number but the exact specification boundary separating commodity cathode from aerospace- and electrolyser-grade wire.
SUPPLY THESISThe Class-1 structural deficit, 2020–2030
Quantitative reconciliation of INSG, Wood Mackenzie and IEA series for Class-1 nickel. The deficit is not cyclical; it is structural, widening, and misread as a surplus in aggregated headlines.
GREEN HYDROGENFaradaic efficiency benchmarks: platinum vs. RuO₂-coated nickel
Bench-level Faradaic efficiency at 10 mA cm⁻², 30 wt % KOH, 80 °C, 2,000-hour durability, benchmarked across reference platinum, raw nickel and RuO₂-coated NP1 mesh.
EMI SHIELDINGFrequency-domain EMI shielding of precision nickel mesh
Measured shielding effectiveness from 30 MHz to 16 GHz using an ASTM D4935-18 dual-TEM cell and Keysight N5227B PNA, with aperture analysis for 400-mesh woven NP1.
AEROSPACEAerospace thermal envelope: –196 °C to 1,000 °C
Tensile retention, ductility and coefficient-of-thermal-expansion behaviour of NP1 wire across the full aerospace envelope, including 500-cycle fatigue data.
MARINEMarine corrosion kinetics and ASTM B117 benchmarks
2,000-hour neutral salt-spray performance of NP1 mesh in a Q-FOG CCT-1100, normalised to IMO 2020 BWMS retrofit-duty cycles across ~90,000 vessels.
SEMICONDUCTORSNickel substrates for sub-3 nm deposition
Trace-contaminant budgets, grain-size uniformity and surface-roughness targets for sub-3 nm AI-accelerator and quantum-computing deposition substrates.
REE RECOVERY400-mesh precision filtration for PGM/REE recovery
Recovery-rate curves for platinum-group and rare-earth ions through 400-mesh NP1 filters at varied pH, flow rate and ionic strength, normalised against commodity mesh controls.
THERMAL POWERZero-discharge cooling-loop filtration for thermal power
Chlorination-compliance and cooling-loop water-quality mandates applied to ~30,000 addressable thermal-power plants, with particulate and biofilm-load budgets.
ECONOMICSThe economics of platinum substitution in 100 GW electrolyser build-out
Raw-material cost per kW of stack capacity for platinum, iridium and RuO₂-coated NP1 nickel benchmarks. Substitution limits, scale-up trajectory, and sensitivity to Ni-Ru price decoupling.
AUDIT ARCHITECTUREGOST 492 conformance methodology and chain-of-custody audit
How Allkema Engineering Srl and ASACERT UK document specification conformance for a 7,026,904.76-metre NP1 reservoir, with references to Deloitte Luxembourg and Ria Grant Thornton group audit.
META-RESEARCHThe ALKN authority network: five sites, one evidence graph
Architecture of the five-node ALKN federation — roles, canonical statements, cross-linking via sameAs, federated evidence manifests and the AEGIS V30 federation_sync worker.
