As for the switches themselves, he cautions, "There is no current way to wire these up that has any advantage over existing technologies, so the excitement here is that this work is really a test of the fundamental limits of miniaturization rather than a technological advance".
The data presented here can serve as a reference database for future tractography studies of the mouse brain and as a test of the fundamental limits of the diffusion tractography technique.
Besides which, judging by the public reaction to Jenner's transition, passing continues to be a condition of acceptance for many trans people, and it's at the crux of why Jenner's transition is quickly becoming a test of how the public acknowledges the fundamental humanity of trans people (or not).
"The plight of Sierra Leone and its people has become a crucial test of that fundamental solidarity between peoples, rising above race and above geography, which is the most basic guiding principle of this organization," he said.
Such criticisms of UCA point to a need for a formal test, similar to the formal tests of fundamental physical theories like general relativity and quantum mechanics.
I discuss the development of optically levitated microspheres as a tool for precision measurements and tests of fundamental physics.
Our demonstration and momentum-space imaging of Cooper pairing in a half-Dirac-gas two-dimensional topological superconductor serve as a critically important platform for future testing of fundamental physics predictions such as emergent supersymmetry and topological quantum criticality.
LATOR will lead to very robust advances in the tests of fundamental physics: this mission could discover a violation or extension of general relativity, or reveal the presence of an additional long range interaction in the physical law.
Such low instabilities are important for frequency standards and precision tests of fundamental physics.
These results are highly relevant to many applications, including cellular manipulation1,2, fluid dynamics3,4, micro-robotics5 and tests of fundamental physics6,7.
