ΑΙΚΑΤΕΡΙΝΗ ΧΡΙΣΤΟΦΙΛΟΠΟΥΛΟΥ (1917-2012)

Andrew Fielding Huxley 1917 - 2012

Sir Andrew Huxley (1917-2012) pioneered the physiology and biophysics of nerve conduction, skeletal muscle activation and tension generation. His ground-breaking work on nerve excitability of nerve in collaboration with Alan Hodgkin in the Cambridge Physiological Laboratory and the Plymouth Marine Biological Laboratory provided the basis for our understanding of how voltage-gated ion channels g...

Sir Andrew Huxley: 1917–2012

Another recent surprise was the discovery of a phytoplankton bloom under the sea ice of the Arctic during investigations in the north Pacific led by Kevin Arrigo from Stanford University (Science (2012) 336, 1408). This, the authors conclude, could mean that productivity in the icy polar waters may have been underestimated by a factor of up to ten, which underlines that we still know far too li...

Hilbert's programs: 1917--1922

Hilbert's finitist program was not created at the beginning of the twenties solely to counteract Brouwer's intuitionism, but rather emerged out of broad philosophical reflections on the foundations of mathematics and out of detailed logical work; that is evident from notes of lecture courses that were given by Hilbert and prepared in collaboration with Bernays during the period from 1917 to 192...
