Exploring the bioeconomy as discourse: identifying archetypical bioeconomy discourses and the emergence of a transformative bioeconomy

open access: yesEcology and Society
The bioeconomy is a major concept in both academic and policy debates, but what it actually means remains diverse across contexts. In this integrative literature review, I explore different onto-epistemological positions, societal relations to nature ...

The Philosophy of Molecular and Developmental Biology [PDF]

open access: yes, 2000
Philosophical discussion of molecular and developmental biology began in the late 1960s with the use of genetics as a test case for models of theory reduction.

Transducers Across Scales and Frequencies: A System‐Level Framework for Multiphysics Integration and Co‐Design

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
Transducers convert physical signals into electrical and optical representations, yet each mechanism is bounded by intrinsic trade‐offs across bandwidth, sensitivity, speed, and energy. This review maps transduction mechanisms across physical scale and frequency, showing how heterogeneous integration and multiphysics co‐design transform isolated ...

Literature as a Site of Speculative Thought: On Method and Encounter

open access: yesNesir: Edebiyat Araştırmaları Dergisi
This article develops a speculative approach to literature grounded in process philosophy, arguing that speculative thought is not an external interpretive framework applied to literary texts, but a mode of thinking that participates in the operative ...

Stress‐Normalized Sensitivity as a Comparative Benchmark for Intrinsically Piezoresistive Nanocomposite Materials in Wearable Electronics

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
A stress‐normalised sensitivity metric (S = G/Y) is introduced as a materials‐level benchmark for intrinsically piezoresistive nanocomposites. By decoupling electromechanical response (G) from stiffness (Y), the framework enables direct comparison across diverse systems and clarifies design trade‐offs for wearable sensors.

Living Metaphysics: Process Thought, Buddhist Philosophy, and the Impact of Ontology

open access: yesPhilosophies
In this contribution, I explore the idea that reality is best understood as fundamentally dynamic and interdependent, i.e., processual, bringing together resources from process thought, phenomenology and the Madhyamaka school of Buddhism.

The monstrosity of matter in Motion: Galileo, Descartes, and Hobbes’s political epistemology [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Along the path opened by Galileo’s mechanics, early modern mechanical philosophy provided the metaphysical framework in which ‘matter in motion’ underwent a process of reduction to mathematical description and to physical explanation.

Graphene‐Interfaced Stretchable Sweat Patch for Multiplexed Electrochemical Monitoring of IL‐6, Glucose, and Calcium Ions

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
Flexible sweat sensor patch integrating graphene‑interfaced gold microelectrodes functionalized with bio‑receptors and ion‑selective membrane, coupled with a capillary‑driven microfluidic layer and portable potentiostat electronics for multiplexed monitoring of inflammatory, metabolic, and electrolyte biomarkers in microliter sweat volumes.

From Rigid to Soft Robotic Approaches for Neuroendoscopy

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Robotic assistance has had minimal impact on deep intraventricular surgeries, where small‐scale, precision, and reduced invasiveness can contribute to improved patient outcomes. Emerging technologies in rigid, soft, and hybrid robotics are reviewed to identify the most promising mechanisms for deep brain navigation in addition to an attempt to identify
