A user designed a website called 'The Galaxy of Physics' using Fable 5, which places all physics theorems from history into a single galaxy to intuitively display the development and charm of physics, and it has been deployed and launched.
This article argues that observational evidence is underappreciated compared to randomized controlled trials, using historical examples from the 18th century to illustrate its efficiency and power.
Science historians discover that the journal Naturwissenschaften retracted two 1940s papers by Max Planck, likely due to a copyright-related algorithm error, leading to blank pages and empty PDFs.
A feature article reviewing Alec Nevala-Lee's biography of Luis Alvarez, covering his work on the atomic bomb, Nobel Prize in physics, and his later hypothesis linking dinosaur extinction to an asteroid impact.
This paper situates large language models within the broader history of computational approaches to concept analysis in the history, philosophy, and sociology of science (HPSS), reviewing methodological challenges and LLM-based case studies for lexical semantic change detection. It covers corpus construction, operationalization, and evaluation across both pre-LLM and LLM-era workflows.
This paper argues that probability theory is a historically evolving form of rationality, tracing its development from combinatorial games to Bayesian inference and contrasting it with fuzzy logic and deep learning.
The article explores the historical and technical challenges involved in the detection of neutrinos, specifically highlighting the contributions and long journey at Los Alamos.
A Scientific American article recounts how a 17th-century gambling puzzle, the “problem of points,” led Pascal and Fermat to invent modern probability theory.
