We have four philosopher - scientists in the Dialogues: Margaret Masterman, developing a new theory of language; Christopher Clarke, a mathematical physicist working out a theory of space; Rupert Sheldrake, who has a hypothesis of «formative causation» as supplementing energetic causation; and Jonathan Westphal, who is working on the philosophical psychology of colour perception.

Modernism developed on the basis of the Newtonian universe, conceived as a complex inanimate machine, operating in absolute space and absolute time according to its own internal laws, which were also believed to be eternal and absolute.4 Understanding this «natural world» was the key to everything; physicists set about uncovering the laws by which the physical world operates; Adam Smith looked for the natural laws by which the economy operates; Darwin thought he had discovered, in the law of natural selection, the origin of species.

■ Bishop Nicholas of Oresme (1323 - 1382), Bishop of Lisieux who as a mathematician discovered how to combine exponents and developed graphs of mathematical functions and as a physicist explained the motion of the Sun by the rotation of the Earth and developed a more rigorous understanding of acceleration and inertia.

«The frontiers of fundamental physics have traditionally been studied with particle colliders, such as the Large Hadron Collider at CERN, by smashing together subatomic particles at great energies,» says UCSD physicist George Fuller, who collaborated with Paris and other staff scientists at Los Alamos to develop the novel theoretical model.

The interdisciplinary project team is made up of eco - and human toxicologists, physicists, chemists and biologists, and they have just managed to take their first major step forward in achieving their goal: they have developed a method for testing a variety of environmental samples such as river water, animal tissue, or human urine and blood that can detect nanomaterials at a concentration level of nanogram per liter (ppb — parts per billion).

The new capability, developed by physicist Mario Podestà at the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory (PPPL), outfits the code known as TRANSP with a subprogram that simulates the motion that leads to the loss of energetic ions caused by instabilities in the plasma that fuels fusion reactions.

Using tensor networks, physicists have developed algorithms that enable simpler analysis of quantum matter such as superconductors.

Over the past decade, physicists have developed much more detailed maps of the magnetic field within the galaxy, which can deflect charged particles such as protons and nuclei.

In the second paper, physicist Dejan Vinković of the University of Split in Croatia developed a model that shows how a combination of stellar wind and infrared radiation from the inner disk can blow the ultrafine crystallized silicate particles billions of kilometers from the inner regions of a protoplanetary disk to its colder outer sections, where comets and other cold but rocky objects, such as Pluto, can form.

Over the last decade, applied physicists have developed nanostructured materials that can produce completely new states of light exhibiting strange behavior, such as bending in a spiral, corkscrewing and dividing like a fork.

She says that there may be practical applications in the future — a commentary accompanying the paper suggests that the method could aid in the development of technologies such as molecular wires, atom - thick conductors that could help shrink electronic devices — but that their result concerns «extremely fundamental» physics that might be just as valuable for developing quantum intuition in the next generation of physicists.

Physicists study flocking to better understand dynamic organization at various scales, often as a way to expand their knowledge of the rapidly developing field of active matter.

This was originally developed by physicists to quantify lost energy in mechanical systems, such as a steam engine, but entropy can also be used to measure the range or randomness of a system.

Star Trek - style teleportation isn't as crazy as it sounds, though it would depend on intricate quantum information systems, as developed by physicist Alex Kuzmich.

Archaeologists have assumed it developed gradually from the pastoral communities that preceded it, but physicist Mike Dee from the University of Oxford and his colleagues now suggest that the transition could have taken as little as 600 years.

Physicists at the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory (PPPL) have helped develop a new computer model of plasma stability in doughnut - shaped fusion machines known as tokamaks.

So, at the dawn of our universe — and I have to emphasize our universe, because there could be others — so, dawn of our universe, physicists think there was one type of force, one type of matter and that as the cosmos expanded, as space expanded, it cooled and things started to condense out like snow flakes, and over time that single force broke, it differentiated; and something similar happens in the human body as we develop from a single cell; we differentiate, different tissues form in our bodies, different layers of tissues.

The experiment, developed by physicists from The Australian National University (ANU) and UNSW ADFA, created an extremely cold gas trapped in a laser beam, known as a Bose - Einstein condensate, replicating the experiment that won the 2001 Nobel Prize.

They found that the limit of the variational solution approaches the model of hydrogen developed by physicist Niels Bohr in the early 20th century, which depicts the orbits of the electron as perfectly circular.

Because Milgrom developed MOND as a solution to a specific problem, not as a fundamental physics principle, many astronomers and physicists have cried foul.

Since 1935, solar physicists have subscribed to what we could call the «eruption theory» where 11 - yr cycle is produced as a unit by a well - developed physical theory that does not rely on excitation of «modes» but on a continuously progressing generation of activity by magnetic induction amplifying existing flux and eventually dying out.
