“According to Hooke, microscopes, like telescopes, put us on the cusp of doing what philosophers from Antiquity onwards had always tried to do, namely, understand the fundamental nature of reality,” writes assistant professor in philosophy, Peter West.
The idea that we can discover the fundamental level of reality might be alluring, but it’s based on a faulty philosophy, not science, argues Peter West.

The craze with all things quantum is not just because of its inherent weirdness. It’s motivated by a reductionist impulse that has been animating science from Robert Hooke in the 17th century to Stephen Hawking in the 21st. The idea that we can discover the fundamental level of reality might be alluring, but it’s based on a faulty philosophy, not science, writes Peter West.
The idea that reality is reducible to its most fundamental parts still animates much of science, particularly physics and philosophy. The craze with all things quantum is partly animated by this thought: understand quantum mechanics, the way that matter behaves at the smallest level known to us, and you’ve understood everything. But this philosophical impulse — because contrary to belief, it’s not scientific — that the microscopic holds the key to the secrets of the universe, is much older than quantum mechanics. It goes back at least all the way to the 17th century and the invention of the microscope. Some of the best critiques of reductionism also date from the same century: Size doesn’t matter, the very small is just one realm of reality among many, with no special privilege.

This innovation sidesteps the usual size limitations, enabling strong signal reception despite its microscopic dimensions. With high tunability and real-world transmission tests proving its viability, the nano-antenna could transform communications in extreme environments.
A study suggests that patients with wet AMD may regain vision through a novel approach — removing abnormal blood vessels and transplanting stem cell-derived retinal cells.
Patients with complete vessel removal saw better outcomes, hinting at a potential game-changer for vision restoration.

Neural interfaces are crucial to restoring and enhancing impaired neural functions, but current technologies struggle to achieve close contact with soft and curved neural tissues. According to Pusan National University, researchers have introduced an innovative method – microelectrothermoforming (μETF) – to create flexible neural interfaces with 3D micro-structures. Their findings show how this method improves neural recording and stimulation, with potential applications in artificial retina devices and brain-computer interfaces.
Microelectrode arrays (MEAs) are widely used for recording brain activity and stimulating neural tissues. However, conventional MEAs are typically flat – limiting their ability to conform to the natural curves of neural structures. Existing methods for adding 3D features require multiple fabrication steps – increasing complexity and restricting design possibilities.
To overcome these limitations, a team led by Associate Professor Joonsoo Jeong and Associate Professor Kyungsik Eom developed μETF – inspired by plastic thermoforming, a common technique for molding plastic sheets into different shapes. The findings are published in the journal of npj Flexible Electronics.
