Cities of Knowledge: Cold War Science and the Search for the Next Silicon Valley

2005-12-31

Margaret O’Mara

What is the magic formula for turning a place into a high-tech capital? How can a city or region become a high-tech powerhouse like Silicon Valley? For over half a … What is the magic formula for turning a place into a high-tech capital? How can a city or region become a high-tech powerhouse like Silicon Valley? For over half a century, through boom times and bust, business leaders and politicians have tried to become "the next Silicon Valley," but few have succeeded. This book examines why high-tech development became so economically important late in the twentieth century, and why its magic formula of people, jobs, capital, and institutions has been so difficult to replicate. Margaret O'Mara shows that high-tech regions are not simply accidental market creations but "cities of knowledge"--planned communities of scientific production that were shaped and subsidized by the original venture capitalist, the Cold War defense complex. At the heart of the story is the American research university, an institution enriched by Cold War spending and actively engaged in economic development. The story of the city of knowledge broadens our understanding of postwar urban history and of the relationship between civil society and the state in late twentieth-century America. It leads us to further redefine the American suburb as being much more than formless "sprawl," and shows how it is in fact the ultimate post-industrial city. Understanding this history and geography is essential to planning for the future of the high-tech economy, and this book is must reading for anyone interested in building the next Silicon Valley.

Constructing Quarks: A Sociological History of Particle Physics

2000-03-01

R. J. Barlow

The title is a challenge. This is an account of the development of the standard model of particle physics, written not by a physicist but by a historian. This is … The title is a challenge. This is an account of the development of the standard model of particle physics, written not by a physicist but by a historian. This is certainly a suitable topic for a historian to analyse, and one might anticipate a refreshingly different account from an outsider sitting above the fray. This is indeed what is provided, though `refreshing' is not the right word; the viewpoint is so different that the scientific reader will find it at best thought-provoking, and at worst unacceptable. For a historian, presumably, the history of the Standard Model is to be evaluated in the same terms as the history of capitalism or Christianity: there are many reasons why a cause triumphed as and when it did, and the importance of such factors can be evaluated, but the historian cannot allow `right on its side' as one of them. Pickering swiftly disowns the `naive realism' of scientific accounts, in which the discovery of truth proceeds step by step, as being philosophically untenable. He will not allow reality to theoretical constructs - he repeatedly refers to quarks as being `invented' rather than `discovered'. For instance, he describes how the interpretation of the J / as a charm-anticharm bound state had problems. Physicists treated the shortcomings of the charm explanation (the sensationally long lifetime, some unexpected masses, and the lack of strange particles at higher energies) as interesting problems capable of resolution (the first, as it turned out, by theory and the latter two by experiment). There was an alternative interpretation of the particle as a coloured state. This also had shortcomings: it predicted charged versions of the J / , which were not seen, and this was used as a reason for the theory's rejection. Experimenters accordingly pursued a charm-based strategy, and eventually found what they sought. The author claims `it is impossible to say what would have happened if experimenters had pursued the predictions of colour with the same tenacity they devoted to charm' (page 276). Here one has to disagree. There would have been no discoveries that confirmed colour. Eventually the search would have stopped and the theory would have withered. The scientists would agree that the charm/colour decision was a matter of judgement. They would use words like `elegance' and `simplicity' to explain the provisional preference for the former over the latter, and they would certainly mention Ockham's razor. And they would say that subsequent developments showed they had backed the right horse. Again, Pickering contends that the reason the E122 (Prescott et al ) SLAC result was accepted, and the conflicting Oxford and Seattle results were rejected, was not due to the agency of the data but to a choice made by physicist. In this he is surely correct. He also contends that this choice was based on the fact that the former agreed with the social and conceptual apparatus of the `new physics' standard model whereas the latter did not. Here his argument is flawed. The atomic physics experiments could be incorporated into the standard model framework reasonably easily, by, for example, the addition of a second Z boson whose effects cancelled those of the first (and it is these theories, not the experimental results, that are the `mutants' referred to by Coleman in the passage quoted on page 291, whose slaying by the Prescott result led to its being known as the `SLAC massacre'.) This is, in fact, the reissue of a book published in 1984. As it covers the discovery of the W and the Z bosons, the 16 elapsed years do little damage to its validity as a history of the standard model. Apart from obvious historical matters (the success of LEP and the SLC, the failure of Isabelle, the end of Russia as a major player and the emergence of Japan), the most striking anomaly today is the prominence given to SU(5) and the absence of any mention of SUSY. It would also be very interesting to know what Pickering makes of the recent rebirth of interest in Regge theory at Hera. Much about the book is excellent.The science is accurate, the explanations are brilliantly concise. Following the tradition of Gibbon, even the footnotes are highly readable. The account is thorough - the author has really done his homework on the primary sources and has interviewed many of the people involved. He captures the way things actually were - the puzzlement over the lack of kaons from charm, the disquiet over the puzzling atomic physics experiments, and the surprise that our confirmation of QCD predictions about the collimation of jets produced in electron-positron annihilation should be hailed in the press as `the discovery of the gluon'. But his overall epistemology merely highlights the singular uselessness of philosophy when applied to physics.

The Physicists: The History of a Scientific Community in Modern America

Daniel J. Kevles , Lewis Pyenson

Unsurpassed in … This magnificent account of the coming of age of physics in America has been heralded as the best introduction to the history of science in the United States. Unsurpassed in its breadth and literary style, Kevles's account portrays the brilliant scientists who became a powerful force in bringing the world into a revolutionary new era. The book ranges widely as it links these exciting developments to the social, cultural, and political changes that occurred from the post-Civil War years to the present. Throughout, Kevles keeps his eye on the central question of how an avowedly elitist enterprise grew and prospered in a democratic culture. In this new edition, the author has brought the story up to date by providing an extensive, authoritative, and colorful account of the Superconducting Super Collider, from its origins in the international competition and intellectual needs of high-energy particle physics, through its establishment as a multibillion-dollar project, to its termination, in 1993, as a result of angry opposition within the American physics community and the Congress.

This book presents a collection of philosophy-on-physics papers, first compiled in 2003, highlighting the main issues and controversies, and providing an entry into the subject for both physicists and philosophers. It covers topical issues such as the significance of gauge symmetry, particle identity in quantum theory, how to make sense of parity violation, the role of symmetry-breaking, the empirical status of symmetry principles, and so forth, along with more traditional problems in the philosophy of science. These include the status of the laws of nature, the relationships between mathematics, physical theory, and the world, and the extent to which mathematics dictates physics. A valuable reference for students and researchers, it will also be of interest to those studying the foundations of physics, philosophy of physics and philosophy of science.

Violation ofCPin variance,Casymmetry, and baryon asymmetry of the universe

1991-05-31

A. D. Sakharov

The theory proposes that under laboratory conditions processes involving violation of п в and и д play a negligible role, but they were very important during the earlier stage of the expansion of the universe. We assume that the universe is neutral with respect to the conserved charges (lepton, electric, and combined), but С asymmetrical during the given instant of its development (the positive lepton charge is concentrated in the electrons and the negative lepton charge in the excess of antineutrinos over the neutrinos; the positive electric charge is concentrated in the protons and the negative in the electrons; the positive combined charge is concentrated in the baryons, and the negative in the excess of fi neutrinos over/z antineutrinos). According to our hypothesis, the occurrence of С asymmetry is the consequence of violation of CP in variance in the nonstationary expansion of the hot universe during the superdense stage, as manifest in the difference between the partial probabilities of the charge-conjugate reactions. This effect has not yet been observed experimentally, but its existence is theoretically undisputed (the first concrete example, I, + and 2 _ decay, was pointed out by S. Okubo as early as 1958) and should, in our opinion, have much cosmological significance. We assume that the asymmetry has occurred in an earlier stage of the expansion, in which the particle, energy, and entropy densities, the Hubble constant, and the temperatures were of the order of unity in gravitational units (in conventional units the particle and energy densities were n~ 10

The effectiveness of the activities of the Center for the History of Russian Science and Scientific andTechnological Development of Russian State University for the Humanities within the framework of the Decade of Science and Technology is noted. It is emphasized that the joint efforts of the authors of the monograph have resulted in non-trivial research outcomes that will firmly enter into the historiography of the national history of science. The object of the study was not chosen by chance: the powerful scientific and technical complex that emerged in the 20th century occupied one of the first places in the world. The study of Soviet science using modern methods and methodology, new documentary sources and original approaches made it possible to prepare an original collective publication.

In this article, we share our vision regarding the future of high-energy physics and accelerators, particularly focusing on the Circular Electron Positron Collider (CEPC) and Super Proton-Proton Collider (SPPC) projects proposed by Chinese scientists in September 2012. Following the recent completion of the CEPC accelerator's technical design report, we review its main physics drives, technical design, and related technology development. The construction of the CEPC will become technologically viable upon the completion of its engineering design report, expected in approximately 3 years. Efforts are also underway to advance technologies for the SPPC.

But what it cannot destroy is the knowledge people carry within them – resilient, determined, and driven by purpose. This is the story of Ukrainian science after February 2022. Not a story of loss, but of transformation. Not disappearance, but displacement, and determined reconnection. When russia launched its full-scale invasion, according to the rough estimation of the Ministry of Education of Science in Ukraine, over 5,000 Ukrainian scientists were forced to flee. Many were women with children. Most of them landed in Poland, Germany, the Czech Republic, the UK, the US, carrying not only their expertise but also the enormous weight of uncertainty. In that moment of war, something extraordinary happened. Ukrainian scientists abroad tried to find one another. The result is ukrdiaspora.nauka.gov.ua, a living map of Ukrainian researchers around the globe, open to those who want to collaborate with colleagues in Ukraine. The site has grown into a digital meeting place, a collaboration platform, and a symbol of scientific resistance. It is important to say that the Ukrainian Science Diaspora initiative has become global. As already mentioned, we initially looked for scholars, and then we began to identify diaspora scholar organizations. At the same time, other scholars approached us for advice on establishing such organizations in their host countries. There are currently 19 academic diaspora organizations in our network from 16 countries around the world. They are completely independent and operate within the norms and rules of the host countries. Their activities are mainly focused on the following areas: the integration of newly arrived Ukrainians into the research space of the host countries, as well as the promotion of Ukraine. Today, every Ukrainian researcher abroad is a science diplomat – they raise the Ukrainian question, fight against russian propaganda, and convince people and governments to continue standing with Ukraine. &amp;nbsp;

A trend towards an increase in the number of current residents and the number of employees hired for additional jobs is revealed. At the same time, a conclusion is made about a decrease in FDI on a net basis and the volume of investment in fixed assets compared to national indicators. The distribution of residents of the industrial park by areas of activity, including R&D, is carried out. The features of the implementation of projects of entities of the innovation infrastructure are reflected. The potential of the China-Belarus Innovation Center for the Commercialization of Scientific and Technological Achievements is revealed. Scientific and technical projects of the National Academy of Sciences of Belarus jointly with Chinese partners are presented. Proposals are made to increase the contribution of the industrial park to the scientific and scientific-technological sphere.

The article analyzes … The main purpose of the article is to study the application of artificial intel- ligence in diplomatic practice and its contribution to the improvement of this sphere. The article analyzes the impact of AI on modern diplomacy. The technological transformation taking place in this area, the possibilities, conditions and means of using AI tools in modern diplomacy are considered. The benefits and risks of such use are highlighted, including those related to ethics and security in the digital environment. It was found that the implementation of AI in diplomatic activities requires an assessment of the institutional potential of the MFA, tak- ing into account the integration with new technologies, such as 3D printing and the IoT. Success depends on the ability to adapt to changes in the areas of digi- tal transformation, which requires the creation of conditions for further study of the potential of AI. The study showed that the use of AI tools in modern diplomacy helps to auto- mate routine operations and improve service, reducing the cognitive load on people and facilitating interaction with applicants; helps overcome language barriers through contextual language translation, which improves the quality of communication between representatives of different countries; used for image recognition, information processing and combating disinformation, which in- creases the security of diplomatic missions; analyzes data and helps diplomats make decisions during negotiations, which facilitates the achievement of de- sired results; monitors open data for early detection of crisis situations, which allows for more effective management of potential conflicts. The scientific novelty of the article lies in the study of the influence of AI tools, in particular GenAI, on diplomatic practice. The paper has implications for diplomatic institutions and researchers as it of- fers recommendations for integrating AI into diplomatic processes and strate- gic planning.

Piaget as scientific diplomat: Exchanges between the Geneva School and Soviet psychologists during the 1950s–60s

However, these trips are usually mentioned in historical works as one more episode referring to Piaget’s international circulations or as a marginal information in the general plan of discussing divergences, complementarities, or incompatibilities between Lev Vygotsky’s psychology and Piagetian genetic psychology. In this article we intend to provide some arguments and archival evidence to open new avenues of reflection on the links between the Geneva School and Soviet psychology, based on the exchanges that Piaget and his Geneva research team had with several Soviet colleagues between 1954 and 1966. For this purpose, we have analysed some unpublished material from the documentary collection of the Centre Jean Piaget at the University of Geneva. In particular, the personal and institutional correspondence between the Swiss and Russian teams, promoted around Piaget’s visits to Moscow and Leningrad in 1955 and 1966. These documents show Piaget’s efforts to engage in scientific diplomacy in order to articulate his research programme, with his institutional positions and the international exchanges, while navigating the political tensions of the Cold War.

Ethnographic fieldwork, interviews, publicly available policy documents as well as documents detailing police practices, organization, ambitions and workflows are used to problematize digital policing platforms and practices in terms of wider criminological theories and models. We show that POL-INTEL epitomizes a historical trajectory of scientification through privatization by drawing together intelligence practices, market logics, and datafication methodologies. With this point of departure, we trace back how the entanglement of private actors and the police organization raises concerns about the black boxing of criminological procedures, and the delegation of decisions and knowledge within the criminal justice system to private actors lacking public values.

Based on the study of the evolution of the regulatory framework and institutional mechanisms of interaction, the features of modern legal regulation of scientific and technical cooperation between Russia and the EU have been identi-fied. The main forms of implementation of interstate cooperation in the scientific and technical sphere are con-sidered, including the system of EU framework programs, bilateral agreements and specialized instruments of scientific diplomacy. The problems and contradictions in the legal regulation of scientific and technical cooper-ation in modern geopolitical conditions are revealed. The directions of improving the international legal mech-anisms of cooperation between Russia and the EU are proposed, taking into account the trends of differentia-tion of cooperation, a paradigm shift in scientific diplomacy and the need to ensure technological sovereignty. The study is complemented by a comparative legal analysis of the regulation of cooperation in the field of sci-ence and innovation in various regional integration associations, which makes it possible to identify universal and specific elements of legal regulation in this area.
