Free will, the self and the brain [PDF]
, 2007 The free will problem is defined and three solutions are discussed: no-freedom theory, libertarianism, and compatibilism. Strict determinism is often assumed in arguing for libertarianism or no-freedom theory.

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.

Causal determinism and moral responsibility [PDF]
Zbornik Radova Filozofskog Fakulteta u PrištiniIn the debate between incompatibilists and compatibilists regarding the relationship between causal determinism, moral responsibility, and free will, causal determinism is identified as a potential basis for an excusing argument against moral ...

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.Template effect and kinetic control enable crystal‐phase engineering of Ru nanocrystals, granting access to either metastable fcc‐Ru or stable hcp‐Ru with distinct surface structures, thermal stabilities, and catalytic behaviors. Moreover, the hcp‐Ru can further serve as an epitaxial template to direct Pd and Rh nanocrystals into the metastable hcp ...

In the Beatific Vision, both Freedom and Necessity
TheoLogica, 2018 According to Aquinas, the souls in heaven (hereafter, the blessed) are both necessitated (i.e., determined) and free in their choice to love God. But if Aquinas is right, it may seem that we cannot give an incompatibilist account of the freedom of the ...

The Kochen-Specker and Conway-Kochen Theorems [PDF]
, 2017 This essay provides an analysis of two important theorems that arise in the context of quantum mechanics: the Kochen-Specker theorem, which challenges the existence of hidden variable theories; and the Conway-Kochen (free will) theorem, which can be seen

Decoding THz‐Driven Dynamic Fingerprints of Ferroelectric Nanotwin Networks
Advanced Materials, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Ultrafast polarization dynamics in ferroelectrics are of considerable interest for high‐speed tunable dielectrics and electro‐optics. Extended domain wall networks formed in ferroelectric twin nanodomains can support collective dynamics in the terahertz regime but require techniques that track polarization and strain evolution driven by ...

Intertemporal Bargaining in Addiction
Frontiers in Psychiatry, 2013 The debate between disease models of addiction and moral or voluntarist models has been endless, and often echoes the equally endless debate between determinism and free will.

Plasmonic Nanomachines: Creating Local Potential Gradients and Motions
Advanced Materials, EarlyView.Plasmonic nanomachines can generate optical, thermal, and chemical potential gradients to drive directional rectilinear, rotational, and twisting motions at the nanometer scale. The integration of multimodal plasmonic forces with functional materials and programmed structural distortions enables precise spatiotemporal actuation, thereby providing a ...
