Quantum Indeterminacy, Freedom, and Responsibility [PDF]
Ideas y Valores, 2008 In the contemporary debate between determinism and indeterminism, quantum mechanics are used by libertarianists, both as a resource to escape the determinism imposed by classical physics, and as a tool to search for a ground to the possibility of free ...

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.Crystal orientation and domain engineering enable bulk mirror symmetry breaking in Bi1−xSbx, resulting in ultralow current‐induced switching of perpendicular magnetization without an external field. By exploiting single‐domain Bi1−xSbx (012), the authors demonstrate an out‐of‐plane spin Hall conductivity of ∼1.12×105ℏ2eΩ−1m−1$ \sim \!1.12 \ensuremath ...

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.A direction‐aware piezo‐transmittance strain sensor is realized through the engineered alignment of carbon nanotubes. This anisotropic architecture instantaneously modulates optical transmittance, achieving ultra‐high sensitivity and exceptionally low hysteresis. By effectively eliminating signal crosstalk to precisely decouple multidirectional strains,

Deterministic Transferable Planar Dielectric Mirrors for Investigating Strong Light–Matter Coupling
Advanced Optical Materials, EarlyView.Transferable dielectric distributed Bragg reflectors enable the deterministic assembly of high‐quality planar microcavities while maintaining the intrinsic properties of quantum materials during fabrication. The resulting structures exhibit robust exciton‐photon coupling in monolayer WS2${\rm WS}_{2}$ from cryogenic to room temperature, establishing a ...

Zygon, 1987 . Does Darwinism generally, and human sociobiology in particular, lead to an unwarranted (and possibly socially offensive) determinism? I argue that one must separate out different senses of determinism, and that once one has done this, a Darwinian ...
