The Long Trajectory of Rubber Physics: 3500+ Years and Counting
Journal of Polymer Science, EarlyView.Natural rubber's trajectory is traced from Mesoamerican use of Castilla elastica through vulcanization and the pneumatic tire to macromolecular physics and modern solid‐state refrigeration. Illustrations of C. elastica and an H. brasiliensis plantation frame the historical progression from indigenous material, then industrial crop and on to advanced ...

What Program for Love in the 21st Century? Thinking With and Beyond Luhmann
Systems Research and Behavioral Science, EarlyView.ABSTRACT From a sociological perspective, the paper examines how normative frameworks for intimate relationships have changed since the publication of Luhmann's Love as Passion (1982). Building on Luhmann's notion of a program for love, we discuss his claim that late 20th century love semantics were organized around a program of understanding. We argue

Managing Robot Perception: How Families Present Their Faces to a Toy Robot
Symbolic Interaction, EarlyView.Playing with a robot's face detection capabilities constitutes a praxeological approach to learning about new technology. We explore how family members discover suitable formations for a Cozmo robot to scan a single face, drawing on video recordings from Swedish homes. Taking an ethnomethodology and conversation‐analysis perspective, we demonstrate how

The Chemical Record, EarlyView.This Personal Account discusses how molecular simulations help uncover motion, shuttling mechanisms, and kinetics in mechanically interlocked molecules such as rotaxanes and catenanes. Mechanically interlocked molecules, such as rotaxanes and catenanes, display complex internal dynamics and reciprocal motions that are central to their use as artificial
