Another philosophical look at twistor theory by Gajic, G, Lilani, N, Read, J

“…In this article, we (a) present for philosophers an introduction to twistor theory, (b) consider how the spacetime–twistor correspondence interacts with the philosophical literature on theoretical equivalence, and (c) explore the bearing which twistor theory might have on philosophical issues such as the status of dynamics, the geometrisation of physics, spacetime ontology, the emergence of spacetime, and symmetry-to-reality inferences. …”

Carbon based materials for MEMS applications by Tan, Chong Wei

“…Many researchers have been trying to control the density of the CNTs growth by using sophisticated and expensive techniques such as electron beam lithography and ion beam bombardment. Density control of CNTs has been demonstrated by a cheap novel combination of steps consisting of annealing, etching and ultraviolet overexposure. …”
