Causal efficacy and the normative notion of sustainability science
Sustainability: Science, Practice, & Policy, 2011 Sustainability science requires both a descriptive understanding and a normative approach. Modern science, however, began as purely descriptive knowledge, the core of which is that matter is dynamically inert and without purpose.

Black Hole Evaporation Entails an Objective Passage of Time [PDF]
, 1998 Time's apparent passage has long been debated by philosophers, with no decisive argument for or against its objective existence. In this paper we show that introducing the issue of determinism gives the debate a new, empirical twist.

Freeform Fabrication of Layered Halide Perovskite Nanowire Heterojunctions
Advanced Materials, EarlyView.‘All‐at‐once’ freeform fabrication of layered perovskite nanowire heterojunctions is realized by 3D printing employing meniscus‐guided crystallization. The integration of nanoscale additive manufacturing with layered halide perovskites will provide a versatile platform to freely design and realize highly stable perovskite‐based optoelectronic ...

Construction of the originality criterion for AIGC
大数据With the popularization of generative artificial intelligence technology, the issue of copyright for AIGC is highlighted. The originality criterion under traditional “instrumental theory” and “contribution theory” is particularly inadequate when it is ...

AI–Guided 4D Printing of Carnivorous Plants–Inspired Microneedles for Accelerated Wound Healing
Advanced Materials, EarlyView.This work presents an artificial intelligence (AI)‐guided 4D‐printed microneedle platform inspired by carnivorous plants for wound healing. A thermo‐responsive shape memory polymer enables body temperature–triggered self‐coiling for autonomous wound closure.

PARADIGMS OF BELIEF, THEORY AND METATHEORY
Zygon, 1992 . My account of the recent turnabout in the treatment of mental states in science and its basis in a modified concept of causal determinism and my claim that this opens the way for beliefs and values consistent with science are here reaffirmed in ...

Causality - Complexity - Consistency: Can Space-Time Be Based on Logic and Computation?
, 2018 The difficulty of explaining non-local correlations in a fixed causal structure sheds new light on the old debate on whether space and time are to be seen as fundamental. Refraining from assuming space-time as given a priori has a number of consequences.

Humid‐Air Condensation Heat Transfer on Hierarchical Structured Superhydrophobic Graphite Composites
Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.Humid‐air condensation on graphite composites shows that making a surface superhydrophobic is not sufficient to enhance heat transfer. A hierarchical CuO/lauric‐acid coating yields spherical droplets but promotes Wenzel‐type pinning and adds effective thermal resistance under operation.

Causality and Determinism: Tension, or Outright Conflict?
Revista de Filosofia, 2005 In the philosophical tradition, the notions of determinism and causality are it is assumed that in a world of deterministic laws, causality may be said to reign supreme; and in any world where the causality is strong enough, determinism must hold. I will
