The Green route of Silver nanotechnology: Phytosynthesis and applications

Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) are amongst the most investigated materials in nanotechnology in view of their unique physio-chemical features and applications in restorative science. Their progressive usages in different fields of science besides some predominant restrictions with conventional methods for their synthesis have demanded analysts to discover green courses for their creation. Biologi...

Leibniz's Two Realms Revisited

Leibniz speaks, in a variety of contexts, of there being two realms – a “kingdom of power or efficient causes” and “a kingdom of wisdom or final causes.” This essay explores an often overlooked application of Leibniz’s famous “two realms doctrine” to the natural world. The first part turns to Leibniz’s work in optics for the roots of his view that nature can be seen as being governed by two com...
