Kaiser Wilhelm II of Germany (center), wearing a Pickelhaube, inspects troops during World War. Credit: Library of CongressGermany's Pickelhaube helmet, distinguished by a sole spike jutting directly from its top, became a symbol of Prussian militarism in the early 20th century. At first look, the unusual spike seems to have served no rational function--...
Plans to measure the impact of historical research academia as if it were a science will undoubtedly mean fewer history books that delight the general reader.The kind of history books that delight most readers probably incorporate original research with elegant, easily accessible prose: possibly a book such as Christopher Clark's The Sleepwalkers or Lyndal...
Credit: European Directorate for the Quality of Medicines & HealthcareThe rise of laboratory science in the late 19th century placed a sharp focus on the moral value of medical innovation.'Modern medical science has offered us a choice where there was once none.' So stated John Simon at the International Medical Congress in London...
Around 19 million years back, something terrible took place for sharks.Fossils amassed from debris in the Pacific Sea reveal a previously unidentified and significant shark extinction event, during which the populations of the predators abruptly dropped by as much as 90 percent, researchers report in the June 4 Scientific research. And researchers do not...
What are we when we are no longer ourselves? Just how philosophy helped Kiran during the pandemicIn what seems like a private act at the witching hour, I light a candle and participate in a Zoom conference: Ideology at Midnight. I belong to a group of people who meet fortnightly to brood over the...
Socrates, Plato and Aristotle. No question you have heard of these thinkers. When I started investigating my newest novel, Aphrodite's Tears, set in Greece and motivated by Ancient Greek mythology, it was no surprise that I discovered these names repeatedly. I was attracted to learn more about these males, for it struck me that...
Quantum materials present unique actions resulting from quantum auto mechanics, or how issue acts on the tiny scale of atoms and subatomic particles. The technologically relevant properties of quantum materials result from complicated interactions of electron charge, orbital, and rotation, and they're combined to the material's crystal framework. For instance, in some products, electrons...
DTU and Graphene Front runner researchers have taken the art of patterning nano materials to the following degree. The accurate pattern of 2D products is a route to calculation and storage space using 2D products, which can deliver much better efficiency and a lot lower power intake than today's technology.One of the most considerable...
Particularly in the quantum worldSome physical systems, particularly in the quantum world, do not reach steady stability after a long time. An ETH researcher has now located a sophisticated description for this sensation.If you put a bottle of beer in a huge bathtub loaded with cold water, it will not be long before...
Room-Temperature Control of Chiral Valley-Polarized LightResearchers have created circularly polarized light and regulated its instructions without utilizing cumbersome magnets or reduced temperatures. The findings, by Nagoya College researchers and colleagues in Japan and released in the journal Advanced Materials, reveal assurance for the development of materials and tool techniques used in optical quantum data...
