Astronomy and astronomers in Jules Verne's novels [PDF]
arXiv, 2009 Almost all the "Voyages Extraordinaires" written by Jules Verne refer to astronomy. In some of them, astronomy is even the leading theme. However, Jules Verne was basically not learned in science. His knowledge of astronomy came from contemporaneous popular publications and discussions with specialists among his friends or his family.

Focus on High Energy Particle Astronomy
New Journal of Physics, 2009 Astrophysics as a sub-discipline provides both unique opportunities and unique challenges relative to other fields of physics. On the one hand, the scope of astrophysics is literally universal, and we are free to examine the most interesting and exotic phenomena to be found anywhere.

Heterogeneous Nanopore Arrays – Selective Modification of Nanopores Embedded in a Membrane
Advanced Materials, EarlyView.Biological processes rely on the concerted action of channels with different functionalities embedded in the same membrane. Inspired by nature, heterogeneous nanopore arrays are prepared where two nanopores are connected in parallel and function as two different elements of an ionic circuit: a diode and a resistor.

Chiral Pseudogap Metal Emerging from a Disordered Van der Waals Mott Insulator 1T‐TaS2 − xSex
Advanced Materials, EarlyView.An intriguing metal was discovered in a chiral charge density wave material, 1T‐TaS2. The random substitution of S by Se induces a transition from an insulator to a metal with a strongly suppressed electron density at the Fermi energy. The pseudogap comes from electronic disorder on with substantial electron correlation and exhibits unprecedented ...

Recommendations for Planning Inclusive Astronomy Conferences [PDF]
arXiv, 2020 The Inclusive Astronomy (IA) conference series aims to create a safe space where community members can listen to the experiences of marginalized individuals in astronomy, discuss actions being taken to address inequities, and give recommendations to the community for how to improve diversity, equity, and inclusion in astronomy. The first IA was held in

Data as a Research Infrastructure - CDS, the Virtual Observatory, Astronomy, and beyond [PDF]
, 2018 The situation of data sharing in astronomy is positioned in the current general context of a political push towards, and rapid development of, scientific data sharing. Data is already one of the major infrastructures of astronomy, thanks to the data and service providers and to the International Virtual Observatory Alliance (IVOA).

Birth and Early Development of Indian Astronomy [PDF]
IN Astronomy Across Cultures: The History of Non-Western
Astronomy, Helaine Selin (ed), Kluwer, 2000, pp. 303-340, 2001 This paper provides an overview of the birth and early development of Indian astronomy. Taking account of significant new findings from archaeology and literary analysis, it is shown that early mathematical astronomy arose in India in the second millennium BC.
