Possibility of Phase Transition in Mechanical Metamaterials
Vol. 1 No. 2 (2025)Based on the available knowledge from numerous simulation studies regarding the occurrence of
metamaterial phase transition, structures were produced that exhibit a real auxetic-non-auxetic transition.
The occurrence of this transition was possible thanks to the modified structure of rotating
rectangles, showing significant dimensional changes. -
Refreshing the Theory of Relativity: Promoting an Interdisciplinary Dialog on Space, Time and Movement
Vol. 1 No. `1 (2025)Abstract:
The theory of relativity must be reworked. Quite simply because it does not properly address the
question of time. It avoids confronting it, taking its object for granted, hidden as it is in punctual
clocks that don’t exist. However, it’s not a question of getting rid of it, nor fundamentally modifying
its mathematical formalism. We should even consider it as expressing the general structure of
our understanding of space and time, extending beyond the realm of physics and into the human
and social sciences. It points the way to a close relationship between time and space. -
A Keratan Sulfate: An Electroconductive Proton Capture Glycosaminoglycan Regulator of Neuronal Membrane Polarization, Ion Fluxes, Neuronal Activation and Neurotransduction
Vol. 1 No. 2 (2025)ABSTRACT: This study describes keratan sulfate (KS), a multifunctional electroconductive glycosaminoglycan, and it’s participation in electrochemical processes that regulate neuronal activity. Neuronal cells are highly responsive to electrical stimulation and this is an intrinsic evolutionary property of this cell type.

Charles Darwin Revisited through the Lens of FIKR (Facet, Insight, Knowledge, and Resilience): Reflections on Curiosity, Compassion, and the Intellect as Foundations of Scientific Discovery
Vol. 1 No. 1 (2025)In addition to his theory of evolution, Charles Darwin (CD) left behind insightful teachings about
how Curiosity, Compassion, and Intellect (CCI) define both scientific brilliance and the human condition.
In order to identify the fundamental principles that drove CD’s revolutionary contributions,
this review reexamines his life, character, family, and educational background within the framework
of the FIKR (Facet, Insight, Knowledge, and Resilience) model. -
Discharge Structure of Ar/SF6 Inductively Coupled Plasma at Relatively Low Pressures
Vol. 1 No. 1 (2025)The discharge structure in an electronegative Ar/SF6 inductively coupled plasma is investigated in
the article at low pressure, 10mTorr. Parabola profile in the electronegative plasma core is given by
the fluid simulation, in accordance to the prediction of analytical theory. Except the ordinary sheath,
the overall discharge is separated into the electronegative core and electropositive edge, which are
connected by a dielectric-type double layer. -
Advances in Single-cell Proteomics
Vol. 1 No. 2 (2025)Abstract: Nowadays, single-cell proteomics emerges and applied for some critical realm both scientifically
and medically. In single-cell analysis, biological variability can be attributed to individual cells,
their specific state, and the ability to respond to external stimuli, which are determined by protein
abundance and their relative alterations. -
Isotretinoin Immobilized on Silica/Ceria Nanoparticles for Optimized Topical Treatment of Acne Vulgaris
Vol. 1 No. 1 (2025)Abstract:
To treat acne more efficiently, we have synthesized ceria/silica nanoparticles with improved physicochemical
and biological properties to enhance topical delivery of isotretinoin. Two types of nanoparticles
were synthesized by the sol–gel and co-precipitation methodologies, namely silica containing
10% ceria (SC2 10%) and ceria (C2). -
Discharge structure of Ar/SF6 inductively coupled plasma at high pressure
Vol. 1 No. 1 (2025)In the article, the discharge structure of Ar/SF6 inductively coupled plasma at high pressure is studied.
At high electronegativity, the island potential is formed at discharge initial stage, and most of
plasma dynamics are occurred in the potential. The self-coagulation and diffusion of both ambi-polar
type exist in the plasma. The plasma is torn by the competition of them and a blue sheath is appeared
in plasma.
