The Powerful

open access: yes, 2004
History is written by the powerful. It is true that since the 1960s and the beginnings of the democratization of history, less powerful minorities have taken up the pen and more profusely expressed their views of history, but to a great extent, white ...

Photonics of Topological Magnetic Textures

open access: yesAdvanced Optical Materials, EarlyView.
Localized noncollinear magetic textures imprint their geometry and topology onto traversing photonic fields endowing them with orbital angular‐momentum, chirality, and magnetoelectric densities. Abstract Topological textures in magnetically ordered materials are an important case studies for fundamental research with promising applications in data ...

Polytheism and the Euthyphro [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
In this reading of the Euthyphro, Socrates and Euthyphro are seen less in a primordial conflict between reason and devotion, than as sincere Hellenic polytheists engaged in an inquiry based upon a common intuition that, in addition to the irreducible ...

An Efficient Diamond Raman Amplification Scheme Based on Adaptive Temporal Synchronization

open access: yesAdvanced Photonics Research, EarlyView.
This work reveals an adaptive temporal synchronization effect in delayed diamond Raman amplification, where the Stokes pulse shifts toward the fundamental peak. A periodic amplification scheme based on this phenomenon enables efficient pump recycling and enhanced energy conversion, offering a robust, delay‐tolerant strategy for advanced nonlinear ...

Bacteriophage‐Mimetic DNA Origami Needle for Targeted Membrane Penetration and Cytosolic Cargo Delivery

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
We designed a synthetic DNA origami needle‐like structure inspired by bacteriophages for targeted drug delivery. Functionalized with trastuzumab antibodies, cholesterol, and dyes, it selectively targets SKBR3 cancer cells. A glutathione‐triggered dye payload enables controlled release, and delivery is verified using confocal microscopy and live cell ...
