  • Applied and Computational Historical Astronomy. Angewandte und computergestützte historische Astronomie.

    Proceedings of the Splinter Meeting in the Astronomische Gesellschaft, Sept. 25, 2020. Nuncius Hamburgensis - Beiträge zur Geschichte der Naturwissenschaften; Vol. 55

    by Gudrun Wolfschmidt ...
    Series series
    'Computational History' derives history from data and nowadays, therefore, relies on the technologies of the digital humanities. 'Computational History of Science' addresses questions of history by evaluating historical data, e.g. for tracing back copying traditions and conclude on transfer and transformation of data and knowledge. The term 'Applied Historical Astronomy', in contrast, tries to ... Read more

  • Regenerative Universe

    by Robert E. Messick Jr ...
    In the era of the Webb telescope cosmology is being reframed as old theories are challenged and new ones are being contemplated. Does the debate boil down to conflict between gravity-centered approaches that have to invent conditions, objects, and states of matter to function and electric universe perspectives that recognize electrodynamics and the pervasiveness of plasma?The Regenerative Universe ...

  • Early Days of X-ray Crystallography

    by André Authier ...
    The year 2012 marked the centenary of one of the most significant discoveries of the early twentieth century, the discovery of X-ray diffraction (March 1912, by Laue, Friedrich and Knipping) and of Bragg's law (November 1912). The discovery of X-ray diffraction confirmed the wave nature of X-rays and the space-lattice hypothesis. It had two major consequences: the analysis of the structure of ... Read more
