Galileo's ship and the relativity principle

Noûs, Volume 59, Issue 3, Page 585-611, September 2025.
Abstract It is widely acknowledged that the Galilean Relativity Principle, according to which the laws of classical systems are the same in all inertial frames in relative motion, has played an important role in the development of modern physics. It is also commonly believed that this principle holds the key to answering why, for example, we do not ...

Kant's nutshell argument for idealism

Noûs, Volume 59, Issue 3, Page 652-677, September 2025.
Abstract The significance or vacuity of the statement, “Everything has just doubled in size,” attracted considerable attention last century from scientists and philosophers. Presenting his conventionalism in geometry, Poincaré insisted on the emptiness of a hypothesis that all objects have doubled in size overnight.

“M. Leibnits étoit un grand homme”: The role of argument from epistemic authority in Du Châtelet's dispute with Mairan

The Southern Journal of Philosophy, Volume 63, Issue 2, Page 211-223, June 2025.
Abstract In my article, I propose to analyze the Du Châtelet‐Mairan dispute from the perspective of the modern theory of argumentation, focusing on the study of arguments from authority. I study separately the opinions of Du Châtelet and Mairan on the correct use of the argument from authority (Is the opponent using the argument correctly?

Old and new vacua of 5D maximal supergravity

Journal of High Energy Physics, 2021
We look for critical points with U(2) residual symmetry in 5-dimensional maximally supersymmetric gauged supergravity, by varying the embedding tensor, rather than directly minimizing the scalar potential.

All‐Optically Driven Optofluidic Light Modulator

Advanced Optical Materials, Volume 13, Issue 14, May 16, 2025.
In this work, an all‐optically driven optofluidic light modulator is developed, based on the optical actuation of waveguided beams by liquid crystals confined in a microfluidic channel. The photovoltaic effect in lithium niobate is employed to control the alignment of the liquid crystal in the microfluidic channel underneath by a light‐induced electric

Epistemic injustice and the “Nature of Science”

Journal of Research in Science Teaching, Volume 62, Issue 4, Page 901-941, April 2025.
Abstract Scientists and science educators have argued that learners (students, preservice teachers, and inservice teachers) should understand knowledge construction in science, in addition to figuring out disciplinary core ideas. Given this goal, some science education scholars created a construct called the “Nature of Science” (NOS), which aims to ...

Galileo Galilei

Revista Eclesiástica Brasileira, 1952
Será difícil encontrar um homem de certa cultura e que desconheça o nome de Galileo Galilei. Em todos os livros de História eclesiástica e profana, em tratados de Astronomia e Física está mencionado o processo da Inquisição que o condenou e o obrigou a abjurar uma doutrina que mais tarde se revelou exata. Em jornais e revistas sempre reaparece o caso e

3D Printed Ultra‐Fast Plastic Scintillators Based on Perovskite‐Photocurable Polymer Composite

Advanced Functional Materials, Volume 35, Issue 12, March 18, 2025.
The demand for radiation detection is increasing in a number of fields, including high‐energy physics, medical imaging, and homeland security. This study serves to demonstrate the potential for the fabrication of fast perovskite‐based scintillators with complex shapes via stereolithographic additive manufacturing, representing a new path toward the ...

swPHoToNs: Toward trillion‐body‐scale cosmological N‐body simulations on Sunway TaihuLight supercomputer

Engineering Reports, Volume 7, Issue 3, March 2025.
We present the details of implementing a highly efficient and scalable Cosmological N‐body simulation framework on the heterogeneous many‐core supercomputer Sunway TaihuLight. We manage to conduct cosmological simulations which contain up to 1.6 trillion particles, obtaining a sustained performance of 56.3 PFlops with a weak‐scaling parallel efficiency
