This paper aims to demonstrate the fecundity of pairing specific insights from On Certainty with research in philosophy and history natural sciences. To do so, it discusses one set related themes work that focus on possibility nature revolutionary change. Specifically, I argue several Wittgenstein’s rather gnomic remarks presage van Fraassen’s insistence need for decisions emotions throughout s...

Pair density wave (PDW) states are defined by a spatially modulating superconductive order-parameter. To search for such in transition metal dichalcogenides (TMD) we use high-speed atomic-resolution scanned Josephson-tunneling microscopy (SJTM). We detect PDW state whose electron-pair and energy-gap modulate at the wavevectors of preexisting charge (CDW) state. The couples linearly to both s-wa...

PURPOSE To characterize and explore the efficacy of a novel low-cost, lowfluid, broad-beam optical-CT system for 3D-dosimetry in radiochromic Presage dosimeters. Leading current optical-CT systems incorporate expensive glass-based telecentric lens technology, and a fluid bath with substantial amounts of fluid (which introduces an inconvenience factor) to minimize refraction artifacts. Here we i...
