Accademia Del Cimento
The Accademia del Cimento (Academy of Experiment), an early scientific society, was founded in Florence in 1657 by students of Galileo, Giovanni Alfonso Borelli and Vincenzo Viviani and ceased to exist about a decade later. The foundation of Academy was funded by Prince Leopoldo and Grand Duke Ferdinando II de' Medici. The tenets of the society included: *Experimentation (about everything, in this early period of science) *Avoidance of speculation *Creation of laboratory instruments *Standards of measurement *Motto – ''Provando e riprovando'' = Proving and proving again (or Trying and Trying again) *A publication ''’Saggi di naturali esperienze fatte nell'Accademia del Cimento sotto la protezione del Serenissimo Principe Leopoldo di Toscana e descritte dal segretario di essa Accademia'' first published in 1666, later translated into Latin in 1731. It became the standard laboratory manual in the 18th century. Overview The Cimento published a manual of experimentation wh ...

Learned Society
A learned society ( ; also scholarly, intellectual, or academic society) is an organization that exists to promote an academic discipline, profession, or a group of related disciplines such as the arts and sciences. Membership may be open to all, may require possession of some qualification, or may be an honour conferred by election. Most learned societies are non-profit organizations, and many are professional associations. Their activities typically include holding regular Academic conference, conferences for the presentation and discussion of new research results, and publishing or sponsoring academic journals in their discipline. Some also act as professional bodies, regulating the activities of their members in the public interest or the collective interest of the membership. History Some of the oldest learned societies are the (founded 1323), (founded 1488), (founded 1583), (founded 1603), (founded 1635), German National Academy of Sciences Leopoldina (founded 1652), ...

Nuovo Cimento
''Nuovo Cimento'' is a series of peer-reviewed scientific journals of physics. The series was first established in 1855, when Carlo Matteucci and Raffaele Piria started publishing ''Il Nuovo Cimento'' as the continuation of ''Il Cimento'', which they established in 1844. In 1897, it became the official journal of the Italian Physical Society. Over time, the journal split into several sub-journals: * ''Nuovo Cimento A'' (1965–1999): Focused on particle physics. The journal ended when it was merged into the ''European Physical Journal'', in 1999. * ''Nuovo Cimento B'' (1965–2010): Focused on relativity, astronomy, and mathematical physics. As of 1 January 2011 it continues publication as the '' European Physical Journal Plus''. * ''Nuovo Cimento C'' (1978–present): Focuses on geophysics, astrophysics, and biophysics. * ''Nuovo Cimento D'' (1982–1998): Focuses on solid state physics, atomic physics, and molecular biology. The journal ended when it was merged into the ''Euro ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Scientific Journals
Science is a systematic discipline that builds and organises knowledge in the form of testable hypotheses and predictions about the universe. Modern science is typically divided into twoor threemajor branches: the natural sciences, which study the physical world, and the social sciences, which study individuals and societies. While referred to as the formal sciences, the study of logic, mathematics, and theoretical computer science are typically regarded as separate because they rely on deductive reasoning instead of the scientific method as their main methodology. Meanwhile, applied sciences are disciplines that use scientific knowledge for practical purposes, such as engineering and medicine. The history of science spans the majority of the historical record, with the earliest identifiable predecessors to modern science dating to the Bronze Age in Egypt and Mesopotamia (). Their contributions to mathematics, astronomy, and medicine entered and shaped the Greek natural phil ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
