A Non-Polynomial Gravity Formulation for Loop Quantum Cosmology Bounce

open access: yesGalaxies, 2017
Recently the so-called mimetic gravity approach has been used to obtain corrections to the Friedmann equation of General Relativity similar to the ones present in loop quantum cosmology.

Bianchi I Spacetimes in f(Q)‐Gravity

open access: yesFortschritte der Physik, Volume 74, Issue 8, August 2026.
ABSTRACT The Kasner spacetimes are exact solutions that are self‐similar and of significant interest because they can describe the dynamic evolution of kinematic variables near the singularity of the Mixmaster universe. The chaotic behavior of the Mixmaster universe is related to the Kasner relations.

Boundary‐Only Weak Deflection by Regular Black Holes, Black‐Bounces, Wormholes, and Static Quadrupolar Spacetimes

open access: yesFortschritte der Physik, Volume 74, Issue 8, August 2026.
ABSTRACT We apply the boundary‐only isothermal formulation of finite‐distance weak gravitational deflection to regular black holes, black‐bounces, traversable wormholes, non‐asymptotically flat backgrounds, and static quadrupolar spacetimes. The methodological advance is not a new value for a known bending angle.

Saturation Effects in Narrowband Resonance Lidar Measurements, Part 1: Theoretical Consideration of Sodium, Iron, and Helium Lidar Systems

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, Volume 131, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Atmospheric resonance lidars targeting metallic species in the mesosphere and lower thermosphere have yielded insights into the dynamics of the middle and upper atmosphere for over 50 years. Recently, the technique has been extended to the metastable helium layer, which reaches up to 1,000 km or above.

Granice fizyki w kosmologii

open access: yesZagadnienia Filozoficzne w Nauce, 2015
The message is that physics has an „outward bound” of scientific inquiry in the field of cosmology. I present it in the historical development. Physics and astronomy, developing since the seventeenth century, inherited from the early Greek philosophers ...

Guiding and Manipulating Light Fields in Microstructured Liquid Crystals

open access: yesAdvanced Physics Research, Volume 5, Issue 7, July 2026.
This review summarizes recent advances in guided‐wave optics enabled by microstructured liquid crystal (LC) devices, covering their fundamental material properties, key degree of freedom for dynamic light field manipulations. The advances of linear guided‐wave optics, nonlinear‐optics with spatial optical solitons, and microlasers in LC‐based devices ...

The Concept of Revolution in the Sciences: Michael Polanyi's Differences With Thomas Kuhn on Scientific Revolutions

open access: yesNatural Sciences, Volume 6, Issue 3, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Thomas Kuhn's The Structure of Scientific Revolutions (1962) was a blockbuster publication that problematized notions about the origins and nature of scientific revolutions. What became Kuhn's famous rubrics of “normal science” and “paradigms” were similar to concepts of “tacit knowledge” and scientific “frameworks” or “dogmas” in Michael ...

Exactly solvable quantum cosmologies from two killing field reductions of general relativity

open access: yesNuclear Physics B, 1989
Abstract An exact and, possibly, general solution to the quantum constraints is given for the sector of general relativity containing cosmological solutions with two space-like, commuting, Killing fields. The dynamics of these model space-times, which are known as Gowdy space-times, is formulated in terms of Ashtekar's new variables. The quantization

Magnetic properties of geraisites, the first tektite strewn field identified in Brazil

open access: yesMeteoritics &Planetary Science, Volume 61, Issue 7, Page 1163-1178, July 2026.
Abstract Geraisites are a newly recognized class of tektite from Brazil. They occur as centimeter‐sized, elongated to subspherical bodies scattered across surface gravel and shallow subsurface layers within a ~90‐km‐long strewn field extending between the municipalities of São João do Paraíso and Curral de Dentro, near the border between the states of ...

Unitary evolution and cosmic acceleration in Loop Quantum Cosmology

open access: yesPhysics Letters B
Loop quantum cosmology was shown to interpolate between de Sitter and FLRW Universe phases through a bounce by including Euclidean and Lorentzian terms of the Hamiltonian constraint with weight one -that corresponding to classical General Relativity ...
