GW150914 and gravitational-wave astronomy [PDF]

Chinese Science Bulletin, 2016
On September 14, 2015, the first detection of gravitational waves at the advanced Laser Interferometer Gravitational- Wave Observatory (LIGO) detectors, in the United States, marked the beginning of “gravitational-wave astronomy”, that opens a new window looking into the violent sides of our Universe.

The Revo‐Evo Debate in the History and Philosophy of Science

Natural Sciences, Volume 6, Issue 3, July 2026.
The paper juxtaposes revolutionary and evolutionary positions in epistemology in general as well as the history of science. While it deems the evolutionary arguments more persuasive, it also stresses the dependence of our assessment of change on the language we choose to describe the theories and positions under consideration.

A Dialogue on Revolutions and Revolutionaries in Science: A Perspective From Quantum Mechanics

Natural Sciences, Volume 6, Issue 3, July 2026.
ABSTRACT We discuss the notions of scientific revolutions and revolutionaries in the context of the Relativity Revolution and of the First, Second, and Third Quantum Revolutions. We conclude that at the core of the question of what qualifies as a revolution and revolutionary is an assessment of the gradients of knowledge accumulation over time, both at

Alternative Approach to Tilt-to-Length Coupling Estimation for Laser Ranging Interferometers in Future Gravity Missions

Remote Sensing
Tilt-to-length coupling, a non-constant systematic error source caused by satellite attitude variations, has been observed in the laser ranging signals of the GRACE Follow-On mission. This error can be corrected by certain calibration maneuvers performed

Near‐resonant excitation of the Adriatic barotropic modes: The seiche events of December 2019

Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, Volume 152, Issue 778, July 2026 Part A.
This study examines severe flooding in the northern Adriatic Sea in December 2019, which existing forecasting systems failed to predict. Analysis of wind and sea‐level data, alongside reanalysis datasets and a high‐resolution hydrodynamic model, revealed a wind‐induced resonance mechanism.

High‐Resolution Anisian Marine Perturbation by Volcanism in the Eastern Paleo‐Tethys

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 27, Issue 7, July 2026.
Abstract Following the end‐Permian mass extinction, the Middle Triassic Anisian Stage was still characterized by environmental perturbations that hindered biological flourishing, yet it remains uncertain whether these persistent Tethyan disturbances were coupled with the closure of the Paleo‐Tethys Ocean.

Polychromatic Population of Bioluminescent Organisms in the Deep Pacific Ocean

Journal of Geophysical Research: Oceans, Volume 131, Issue 7, July 2026.
Abstract We present a comprehensive study of deep‐sea bioluminescent organisms in the Cascadia Basin, Northeast Pacific Ocean, based on four years (2020–2023) of in situ measurements using STRings for Absorption length in Water instruments. Analysis of over 1.3 million camera images and continuous photomultiplier tube recordings revealed that ...

A Gaussian Process Framework for Testing General Relativity with Gravitational Waves

The Astrophysical Journal
Gravitational-wave astronomy provides a promising avenue for the discovery of new physics beyond general relativity as it probes extreme curvature and ultrarelativistic dynamics.

Equiaffine Braneworld

Galaxies, 2020
Higher dimensional theories, wherein our four dimensional universe is immersed into a bulk ambient, have received much attention recently, and the directions of investigation had, as far as we can discern, all followed the ordinary Euclidean hypersurface

Reproducing Ganymede's Craters With the Melosh Model of Acoustic Fluidization

Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 7, July 2026.
Abstract An impact event excavates a bowl‐shaped transient cavity, which subsequently collapses under gravity. For larger cavities, gravitational forces exceed the strength of the target material beneath the cavity, resulting in central uplift and a reduced final depth‐to‐diameter ratio (≤ ${\le} $1/10).
