Why have philosophers? [PDF]

open access: yes, 1985
David Stove reviews Selwyn Grave's History of Philosophy in Australia, and praises philosophers for thinking harder about the bases of science, mathematics and medicine than the practitioners in the field. The review is reprinted as an appendix

Ultrafast Dynamic Defect Inspection With Computational Neuromorphic Imaging

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Computational neuromorphic imaging (CNI) is leveraged for ultrafast dynamic defect inspection, offering unparalleled capabilities for fast‐moving samples, complex illumination conditions, and real‐time edge detection. The CNI paradigm will enhance our set of inspection tools in challenging environments, paving the way for intelligent, precise, and low ...

Pre‐Torsion Tubular Metamaterials: Multi‐Effect Integration for Advanced Functional Applications

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Through a pre‐torsion design paradigm, the authors design and fabricate a class of multi‐effect mechanical metamaterial that synergistically integrates compression‐torsion and auxetic behaviors over an extensive strain range, and their formation mechanisms are quantitatively analyzed and elucidated via experiments and finite element methods.

Understanding the Interplay Between Thermal Activation, Diffusion, and Phase Segregation of Molecular Dopants Blended with Polymeric Semiconductors

open access: yesAdvanced Electronic Materials, EarlyView.
The use of air stable but thermally labile molecules provides an efficient strategy for the N‐type doping of organic semiconductors with relatively low electron affinities. Design criteria for efficient dopants should also take into account diffusion and phase segregation that cannot be decoupled from thermally activated doping.

Complexity and Philosophy [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
The science of complexity is based on a new way of thinking that stands in sharp contrast to the philosophy underlying Newtonian science, which is based on reductionism, determinism, and objective knowledge.
