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

Natural 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 ...

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

Description of the rate‐limiting hydrogen tunneling mechanism for plant 9‐ and 13‐lipoxygenases

Protein Science, Volume 35, Issue 7, July 2026.
Abstract Soybean lipoxygenase (GmLOX1), a plant 13‐LOX, has long been considered a model protein for non‐trivial, quantum hydrogen tunneling in enzyme catalysis. Hydrogen tunneling mechanisms have also been confirmed for LOXs across mammalian, fungal, and bacterial kingdoms.

Fendioxypyracil, a new and systemic PPO‐inhibiting herbicide for X‐spectrum weed control

Pest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 7, Page 6794-6807, July 2026.
This graphical abstract presents the discovery and synthesis of PPO herbicide structures with a central pyridine core, showing molecular conformations, dose–response inhibition curves for PPO1 and PPO2, and comparative weed and grass control efficacy of fendioxypyracil versus other herbicides in greenhouse and field trials.
