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

open access: yesNatural 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 ...

How Long Is the Coast of Quantum Chemistry? Or, How to Evaluate Density Functional Theory as a Scientific Revolution

open access: yesNatural Sciences, Volume 6, Issue 3, July 2026.
Within quantum chemistry, density functional theory (DFT) is a revolution. This serves as an example of a multitude of other scientific events, supporting the idea that revolutions are always large, if observed with the appropriate magnification. ABSTRACT Distinguishing scientific revolutions from normal science is a subjective, conflicting matter ...

Contradicting Kuhn's Popular Notion of Scientific Revolution: Conservative Revolutionaries in the History of Biology

open access: yesNatural Sciences, Volume 6, Issue 3, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Proposing the concept of a conservative revolutionary generally and using the examples of Gregor Mendel, Max Delbrück, and Eric Davidson, I fundamentally call into question Thomas Kuhn's ideas of scientific revolutions. I also highlight some problematic consequences of the increasing appreciation of Kuhn's work among scientists and show that ...

Assessing Risk for Bycatch and Byproduct Species Using a Modified Sustainability Assessment for Fishing Effects (SAFE) Approach

open access: yesFish and Fisheries, Volume 27, Issue 4, Page 831-849, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Central to ecosystem‐based fisheries management is ensuring the sustainability of bycatch and byproduct species. However, the sustainability of these species is difficult to assess as the lack of information limits the use of traditional stock assessment methods.

Cognition, Information Fields and Hologenomic Entanglement: Evolution in Light and Shadow

open access: yesBiology, 2016
As the prime unification of Darwinism and genetics, the Modern Synthesis continues to epitomize mainstay evolutionary theory. Many decades after its formulation, its anchor assumptions remain fixed: conflict between macro organic organisms and selection ...

A 50‐Year Historical Perspective of the Extended Koopmans' Theorem, Its Exactness, and Future Prospects

open access: yesInternational Journal of Quantum Chemistry, Volume 126, Issue 13, July 5, 2026.
The early history of the extended Koopmans' theorem is reviewed. The history of studies of its exactness for ionization is discussed, as well as limits of accuracy for electron affinities. The extended Koopmans' theorem will be useful in obtaining Dyson orbitals for application in studies of chemical reactivity.

If Physics Is an Information Science, What Is an Observer?

open access: yesInformation, 2012
Interpretations of quantum theory have traditionally assumed a “Galilean” observer, a bare “point of view” implemented physically by a quantum system.

Building the Observer into the System: Toward a Realistic Description of Human Interaction with the World

open access: yesSystems, 2016
Human beings do not observe the world from the outside, but rather are fully embedded in it. The sciences, however, often give the observer both a “god’s eye” perspective and substantial a priori knowledge. Motivated by W.

The Time to Act Is Now: Strengthening Health Systems Research Capacity, Capability and Knowledge Translation in Remote Australia

open access: yesAustralian Journal of Rural Health, Volume 34, Issue 3, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Context Communities in remote Australia face poorer health outcomes but are largely recipients of services, programs and policies that are disconnected from local experiences and priorities, with some notable exceptions. Local‐level research capacity, capability and knowledge translation that respond to community and service provider ...
