In a mind-bending development, a team of researchers in China have managed to treat brain tumors in mice by delivering drugs to the tissues using microscopic robots. The robots jumped from the mices bloodstreams into their brains by being coated in E. coli, which tricked the rodents immune systems into attacking them, absorbing the robots and the cancer-fighting drugs in the process.

The teams research was published today in the journal Science Robotics. It comes on the heels of previous research by members of the same team, which saw liquid-coated nanorobots remotely propelled through the jelly-like fluid of the eye. Besides being an obvious recipe for an episode of The Magic School Bus, the research had obvious applications for ophthalmological research and medical treatments.

Its not just the blood-brain barrier, said lead author Zhiguang Wu, a chemist at the Harbin Institute for Technology in China, in an email. Most barriers in dense tissues are difficult obstacles to overcome in moving microrobots around a body.

The crafts are magnetic, and the researchers use a rotating magnetic field to pull them around remotely. On microscaleswere talking incremental movements about 1% the width of a hairthe researchers were able to make the hybrid bio-bots wend paths like in the video game Snake. Theyre dubbed neutrobotsbecause they infiltrate the brain in the casing of neutrophils, a type of white blood cell.

The biggest challenge of the work was how to achieve a swarm intelligence of neutrobots, Wu said. Like robot swarms in the macroscale world, the micro/nanorobot swarms enable sophisticated manipulation to accomplish complex tasks.

It ultimately took Wus team eight years to actualize the microscopic robot swarms capable of bridging the gap between the rodent bloodstream in the animals tail, where the bots were injected, and its brain, where gliomastumors that emerge from the brains glial cellsresided. Part of the issue is that the mices white blood cells didnt dig the flavor of the magnetic robots. To overcome that issue, Wus team coated the bots in bits of E. coli membrane, which the white blood cells easily recognize as a unwelcome invader. That made the robots much more palatable, and the white blood cells enveloped them. From inside those cells, the robots were then able to roll the cells toward the brain; a Trojan horse for the 21st century (in this case, one that benefits the residents of Troy). The neutrobots made it into the brains and were able to deliver the drug directly to the targeted tumors.

Wu said the applications of the robots are manifold, and more breakthroughs could be on the horizon. The neutrobots are not exclusively designed for the treatment of glioma, he said, explaining that theyre a platform for active delivery for the therapy of various brain diseases such as cerebral thrombosis, apoplexy, and epilepsy.

Whether its surgery or drug delivery, robots are slowly but surely making their way into our most personal of domains. Of course, theyre still just in mouse brains for now, but future applications in humans seemincreasingly likely.

The use of neutrophils in microrobot design is a fascinating strategy for overcoming biological barriers, wrote robotic engineers Junsun Hwang and Hongsoo Choi, who werent affiliated with the new work, in an accompanying article. However, bench-to-bedside translation with respect to targeted drug delivery by neutrobots or microrobots is still some way off.

Currently, experts lack the ability to see what the robots are doing clearly in real time, which would be vital for any medical use of the droids down the line. But in the rat race of robotics research, its clear that humans are pushing their inanimate swarms in the direction of progress.

The University of Michigan (U-M) and Ford Motor Company have opened a new facility dedicated to advancing robotics, autonomous vehicle technology and future mobility solutions.

U-Ms Ford Motor Company Robotics Building is a four-story, US$75m, 134,000ft2 complex situated on the north campus. As the new hub of the U-M Robotics Institute, its first three floors hold custom U-M research labs for robots that fly, walk, roll and augment the human body as well as classrooms, offices and makerspaces. Through a unique agreement, the fourth floor houses Fords first robotics and mobility research lab on a university campus, as well as 100 Ford researchers and engineers.

The new facility brings together U-M researchers from 23 different buildings and 10 top-10 programs. With the new infrastructure, researchers working on two-legged disaster response robots can test them on a 30mph treadmill studded with obstacles, or on a stair-stepped robot playground designed with the help of artificial intelligence. Biomedical engineers will have access to earthquake platforms with force-feedback plates to guide their development of lighter-weight, more efficient prosthetic legs. And Ford engineers will explore how their upright Digit robots can work in human spaceswhile taking AVs from robotic computer simulations to on-road testing at U-Ms world-class proving ground just down the road.

As Ford continues the most profound transformation in our history with electrification, connectivity and automation, advancing our collaboration with the University of Michigan will help us accelerate superior experiences for our customers while modernizing our business, said Ken Washington, chief technology officer, Ford Motor Company. We also will broaden our learning through daily exposure to many robotics activities, such as considering how our Digit robots not only technically can master delivering packages from autonomous vehicles but also become valued parts of our neighborhoods.

For Ford, the facility is key to the companys transformed and modernized research and product development processes aimed at disrupting the transportation landscape.

Key research will focus on:

Autonomous vehicles have the opportunity to change the future of transportation and the way we move, said Tony Lockwood, technical manager, Autonomous Vehicle Research, Ford Motor Company. As this new technology rolls out, having our Ford team working on campus collaborating with the academic world will help us shorten the time it takes to move research projects to automotive engineering, unlocking the potential of autonomous vehicles.

The Ford Robotics Building anchors the west end of the Michigan Avenue mobility testbed that begins in Detroits Corktown neighborhood and runs through Dearborn to Ann Arbor, where Ford and U-M are teaming with other innovators to experiment with potential mobility solutions for the future.

In collaboration with the state of Michigan and others, Ford and U-M are involved in developing this first-of-its-kind corridor for connected and autonomous vehicles that will continue the states mission to lead the development of smart infrastructure and future mobility. A key goal of the initiative is to close long-standing gaps in access to public transit and transportation across southeast Michigan.

Automated Chemistry Combines Chemical Robotics and AI to Accelerate Pace for Advancing Solar Energy Technologies – SciTechDaily

Researchers at ORNL and the University of Tennessee developed an automated workflow that combines chemical robotics and machine learning to speed the search for stable perovskites. Credit: Jaimee Janiga/ORNL, U.S. Dept of Energy

Researchers at the Department of Energys Oak Ridge National Laboratory and the University of Tennessee are automating the search for new materials to advance solar energy technologies.

A novel workflow published in ACS Energy Letters combines robotics and machine learning to study metal halide perovskites, or MHPs thin, lightweight, flexible materials with outstanding properties for harnessing light that can be used to make solar cells, energy-efficient lighting and sensors.

Our approach speeds exploration of perovskite materials, making it exponentially faster to synthesize and characterize many material compositions at once and identify areas of interest, said ORNLs Sergei Kalinin.

The study, part of an ORNL-UT Science Alliance collaboration, aims to identify the most stable MHP materials for device integration.

Automated experimentation can help us carve an efficient path forward in exploring what is an immense pool of potential material compositions, said UTs Mahshid Ahmadi.

Although MHPs are attractive for their high efficiency and low fabrication costs, their sensitivity to the environment limits operational use. Real-world examples tend to degrade too quickly in ambient conditions, such as light, humidity or heat, to be practical.

The enormous potential for perovskites presents an inherent obstacle for materials discovery. Scientists face a vast design space in their efforts to develop more robust models. More than a thousand MHPs have been predicted, and each of these can be chemically modified to generate a near limitless library of possible compositions.

It is difficult to overcome this challenge with conventional methods of synthesizing and characterizing samples one at a time, said Ahmadi. Our approach allows us to screen up to 96 samples at a time to accelerate materials discovery and optimization.

The team selected four model MHP systems yielding 380 compositions total to demonstrate the new workflow for solution-processable materials, compositions that begin as wet mixtures but dry to solid forms.

The synthesis step employed a programmable pipetting robot designed to work with standard 96-well microplates. The machine saves time over manually dispensing many different compositions; and it minimizes error in replicating a tedious process that needs to be performed in exactly the same ambient conditions, a variable that is difficult to control over extended periods.

Next, researchers exposed samples to air and measured their photoluminescent properties using a standard optical plate reader.

Its a simple measurement but is the de facto standard for characterizing stability in MHPs, said Kalinin. The key is that conventional approaches would be labor intensive, whereas we were able to measure the photoluminescent properties of 96 samples in about five minutes.

Repeating the process over several hours captured complex phase diagrams in which wavelengths of light vary across compositions and evolve over time.

The team developed a machine-learning algorithm to analyze the data and home in on regions with high stability.

Machine learning enables us to get more information out of sparse data by predicting properties between measured points, said ORNLs Maxim Ziatdinov, who led development of the algorithm. The results guide materials characterization by showing us where to look next.

While the study focuses on materials discovery to identify the most stable compositions, the workflow could also be used to optimize material properties for specific optoelectronic applications.

The automated process can be applied to any solution-processable material for time and cost savings over traditional synthesis methods.

Rationalism | Catholic Answers

Posted: at 2:47 am

Rationalism (Latin, ratioreason, the faculty of the mind which forms the ground of calculation, i.e. discursive reason. See Apologetics; Atheism; Bible; Deism; Empiricism; Biblical Exegesis; Faith; Materialism; Miracle; Revelation). The term is used: (I) in an exact sense, to designate a particular moment in the development of Protestant thought in Germany; (2) in a broader, and more usual, sense to cover the view (in relation to which many schools may be classed as rationalistic) that the human reason, or understanding, is the sole source and final test of all truth. It has further: (3) occasionally been applied to the method of treating revealed truth theologically, by casting it into a reasoned form, and employing philosophical categories in its elaboration. These three uses of the term will be discussed in the present article.

The German school of theological Rationalism formed a part of the more general movement of the eighteenth-century Enlightenment. It may be said to owe its immediate origin to the philosophical system of Christian Wolff (1679-1754), which was a modification, with Aristotelean features, of that of Leibniz, especially characterized by its spiritualism, determinism, and dogmatism. This philosophy and its method exerted a profound influence upon contemporaneous German religious thought, providing it with a rationalistic point of view in theology and exegesis. German philosophy in the eighteenth century was, as a whole, tributary to Leibniz, whose Theodicee was written principally against the Rationalism of Bayle: it was marked by an infiltration of English Deism and French Materialism, to which the Rationalism at present considered had great affinity, and towards which it progressively developed: and it was vulgarized by its union with popular literature. Wolff himself was expelled from his chair at the University of Halle on account of the Rationalistic nature of his teaching, principally owing to the action of Lange (1670-1774; cf. Cauca Dei et religionis naturalis adversus atheismum, and Modesta Disputatio, Halle, 1723). Retiring to Marburg, he taught there until 1740, when he was recalled to Halle by Frederick II. Wolffs attempt to demonstrate natural religion rationally was in no sense an attack upon revelation. As a supranaturalist he admitted truths above reason, and he attempted to support by reason the supernatural truths contained in Holy Scripture. But his attempt, while it incensed the pietistic school and was readily welcomed by the more liberal and moderate among the orthodox Lutherans, in reality turned out to be strongly in favor of the Naturalism that he wished to condemn. Natural religion, he asserted, is demonstrable; revealed religion is to be found in the Bible alone. But in his method of proof of the authority of Scripture recourse was had to reason, and thus the human mind became, logically, the ultimate arbiter in the case of both. Supra-naturalism in theology, which it was Wolffs intention to uphold, proved incompatible with such a philosophical position, and Rationalism took its place. This, however, is to be distinguished from pure Naturalism, to which it led, but with which it never became theoretically identified. Revelation was not denied by the Rationalists; though, as a matter of fact, if not of theory, it was quietly suppressed by the claim, with its ever-increasing application, that reason is the competent judge of all truth. Naturalists, on the other hand, denied the fact of revelation. As with Deism and Materialism, the German Rationalism invaded the department of Biblical exegesis. Here a destructive criticism, very similar to that of the Deists, was levelled against the miracles recorded in, and the authenticity of the Holy Scriptures. Nevertheless, the distinction between Rationalism and Naturalism still obtained. The great Biblical critic Semler (1725-91), who is one of the principal representatives of the school, was a strong opponent of the latter; in company with Teller (1734-1804) and others he endeavored to show that the records of the Bible have no more than a local and temporary character, thus attempting to safeguard the deeper revelation, while sacrificing to the critics its superficial vehicle. He makes the distinction between theology and religion (by which he signifies ethics).

The distinction made between natural and revealed religion necessitated a closer definition of the latter. For Supernaturalists and Rationalists alike religion was held to be a way of knowing and worshipping the Deity, but consisting chiefly, for the Rationalists, in the observance of Gods law. This identification of religion with morals, which at the time was utilitarian in character (see Utilitarianism), led to further developments in the conceptions of the nature of religion, the meaning of revelation, and the value of the Bible as a collection of inspired writings. The earlier orthodox Protestant view of religion as a body of truths published and taught by God to man in revelation was in process of disintegration. In Semlers distinction between religion (ethics) on the one hand and theology on the other, with Herders similar separation of religion from theological opinions and religious usages, the cause of the Christian religion, as they conceived it, seemed to be put beyond the reach of the shock of criticism, which, by destroying the foundations upon which it claimed to rest, had gone so far to discredit the older form of Lutheranism. Kants (1724-1804) criticism of the reason, however, formed a turning-point in the development of Rationalism. For a full understanding of his attitude, the reader must be acquainted with the nature of his pietistic upbringing and later scientific and philosophical formation in the Leibniz-Wolff school of thought (see Immanuel Kant). As far as concerns the point that occupies us at present, Kant was a Rationalist. For him religion was coextensive, with natural, though not utilitarian, morals. When he met with the criticisms of Hume and undertook his famous Kritik, his preoccupation was to safe-guard his religious opinions, his rigorous morality, from the danger of criticism. This he did, not by means of the old Rationalism, but by throwing discredit upon metaphysics. The accepted proofs of the existence of God, immortality, and liberty were thus, in his opinion, overthrown, and the well-known set of postulates of the categoric imperative put forward in their place. This, obviously, was the end of Rationalism in its earlier form, in which the fundamental truths of religion were set out as demonstrable by reason. But, despite the shifting of the burden of religion from the pure to the practical reason, Kant himself never seems to have reached the viewto which all his work pointedthat religion is not mere ethics, conceiving moral laws as divine commands, no matter how far removed from Utilitarianismnot an affair of the mind, but of the heart and will; and that revelation does not reach man by way of an exterior promulgation, but consists in a personal adaptation towards God. This conception was reached gradually with the advance of the theory that man possesses a religious sense, or faculty, distinct from the rational (Fries, 1773-1843; Jacobi, 1743-1819; Herder, 1744-1803,;all opposed to the Intellectualism of Kant), and ultimately found expression with Schleiermacher (1768-1834), for whom religion is to be found neither in knowledge nor in action, but in a peculiar attitude of mind which consists in the consciousness of absolute dependence upon God. Here the older distinction between natural and revealed religion disappears. All that can be called religionthe consciousness of dependenceis at the same time revelational, and all religion is of the same character. There is no special revelation in the older Protestant (the Catholic) sense, but merely this attitude of dependence brought into being in the individual by the teaching of various great personalities who, from time to time, have manifested an extraordinary sense of the religious. Schleiermacher was a contemporary of Fichte, Schelling, and Hegel, whose philosophical speculations had influence, with his own, in ultimately subvertingRationalism as here dealt with. The movement may be said to have ended with himin the opinion of Teller the greatest theologian that the Protestant Church has had since the period of the Reformation. The majority of modern Protestant theologians accept his views, not, however, to the exclusion of knowledge as a basis of religion.

Parallel with the development of the philosophical and theological views as to the nature of religion and the worth of revelation, which provided it with its critical principles, took place an exegetical evolution. The first phase consisted in replacing the orthodox Protestant doctrine (i.e. that the Sacred Scriptures are the Word of God) by a distinction between the Word of God contained in the Bible and the Bible itself (Tollner, Herder), though the Rationalists still held that the purer source of revelation lies rather in the written than in the traditional word. This distinction led inevitably to the destruction of the rigid view of inspiration, and prepared the ground for the second phase. The principle of accommodation was now employed to explain the difficulties raised by the Scripture records of miraculous events and demoniacal manifestations (Senf, Vogel), and arbitrary methods of exegesis were also used to the same end (Paulus, Eichhorn). In the third phase Rationalists had reached the point of allowing the possibility of mistakes having been made by Christ and the Apostles, at any rate with regard to non-essential parts of religion. All the devices of exegesis were employed vainly; and, in the end, Rationalists found themselves forced to admit that the authors of the New Testament must have written from a point of view different from that which a modern theologian would adopt (Henke, Wegscheider). This principle, which is sufficiently elastic to admit of usage by nearly every variety of opinion, was admitted by several of the Supernaturalists (Reinhard, Storr), and is very generally accepted by modern Protestant divines, in the rejection of verbal inspiration. Herder is very clear on the distinctionthe truly inspired must be discerned from that which is not; and de Wette lays down as the canon of interpretation the religious perception of the divine operation, or of the Holy Spirit, in the sacred writers as regards their belief and inspiration, but not respecting their faculty of forming ideas In an extreme form it may be seen employed in such works as Strausss Leben Jesu, where the hypothesis of the mythical nature of miracles is developed to a greater extent than by Schleiermacher or de Wette.

(2) Rationalism, in the broader, popular meaning of the term, is used to designate any mode of thought in which human reason holds the place of supreme criterion of truth; in this sense, it is especially applied to such modes of thought as contrasted with faith. Thus Atheism, Materialism, Naturalism, Pantheism, Scepticism, etc., fall under the head of rationalistic systems. As such, the rationalistic tendency has always existed in philosophy, and has generally shown itself powerful in all the critical schools. As has been noted in the preceding paragraph, German Rationalism had strong affinities with English Deism and French Materialism, two historic forms in which the tendency has manifested itself. But with the vulgarization of the ideas contained in the various systems that composed these movements, Rationalism has degenerated. It has become connected in the popular mind with the shallow and misleading philosophy frequently put forward in the name of science, so that a double confusion has arisen, in which (i) questionable philosophical speculations are taken for scientific facts, and (ii) science is falsely supposed to be in opposition to religion. This Rationalism is now rather a spirit, or attitude, ready to seize upon any arguments, from any source and of any or no value, to urge against the doctrines and practices of faith. Beside this crude and popular form it has taken, for which the publication of cheap reprints and a vigorous propaganda are mainly responsible, there runs the deeper and more thoughtful current of critical-philosophical Rationalism, which either rejects religion and revelation altogether or treats them in much the same manner as did the Germans. Its various manifestations have little in common in method or content, save the general appeal to reason as supreme. No better description of the position can be given than the statements of the objects of the Rationalist Press Association. Among these are: To stimulate the habits of reflection and inquiry and the free exercise of individual intellect and generally to assert the supremacy of reason as the natural and necessary means to all such knowledge and wisdom as man can achieve. A perusal of the publications of the same will show in what sense this representative body interprets the above statement. It may be said finally, that Rationalism is the direct and logical outcome of the principles of Protestantism; and that the intermediary form, in which assent is given to revealed truth as possessing the imprimatur of reason, is only a phase in the evolution of ideas towards general disbelief. Official condemnations of the various forms of Rationalism, absolute and mitigated, are to be found in the Syllabus of Pius IX.

(3) The term Rationalism is perhaps not usually applied to the theological method of the Catholic Church. All forms of theological statement, however, and pre-eminently the dialectical form of Catholic theology, are rationalistic in the truest sense. Indeed, the claim of such Rationalism as is dealt with above is directly met by the counter claim of the Church: that it is at best but a mutilated and unreasonable Rationalism, not worthy of the name, while that of the Church is rationally complete, and integrated, moreover, with super-rational truth. In this sense Catholic theology presupposes the certain truths of natural reason as the preambula fidei, philosophy (the ancilla theologice) is employed in the defense of revealed truth (see Apologetics), and the content of Divine revelation is treated and systematized in the categories of natural thought. This systematization is carried out both in dogmatic and moral theology. It is a process contemporaneous with the first attempt at a scientific statement of religious truth, comes to perfection of method in the works of such writers as St. Thomas Aquinas and St. Alphonsus, and is consistently employed and developed in the Schools.

The work under this research agreement will focus on the identification of sensor technologies that have the potential to perform well on in-orbit platforms in support of space domain awareness which is the study and monitoring of satellites orbiting earth as well as satellite docking and maintenance.

The new research project involves an initial scoping study phase, which, if successful, may lead to further developments.

The research project was funded by the SmartSat Cooperative Research Centre (CRC). It presents opportunities for new space projects that will flow from the SmartSat CRC initiative, contributing to the growth of a sovereign Australian space industry.

University of Sydney Dean of the Faculty of Engineering, Professor Willy Zwaenepoel said: This project represents an outstanding opportunity to engage with a global industry leader in the area of satellite systems, while also nurturing our domestic capability in Australia.

"It will engage our staff and students in the development of state-of-the-art satellite capabilities. Having recently been designated as the Academic Institution of the Year at the Australian Space Awards, the University of Sydney is in a unique position to deliver on the proposed project outcomes.

Thales Australia Director of Technical Strategy, Michael Clarke said the company has a long and proud history of partnering with academic and SMEs to develop next generation sovereign technologies.

This research project is no exception, and is another great example of demonstrating how collaboration will help grow sovereign space capability, while providing additional opportunities for SMEs to feed into our global projects, said Mr Clark.

HEO Robotics CEO, William Crowe said: HEO Robotics is an ambitious Australian space startup that is already supplying customers with insights using our HEO Inspect product. Were pleased to work with the likes of Thales Australia and the University of Sydney to supercharge our development and feed into the global supply chain of leading space companies.
