21Time-Domain Thermoreflectance — is a method by which the thermal properties of a material can be measured, most importantly thermal conductivity. This method can be applied most notably to thin film materials (up to hundreds of nanometers thick), which have properties that vary …
22dating — I In geology and archaeology, the process of determining an object s or event s place within a chronological scheme. Scientists may use either relative dating, in which items are sequenced on the basis of stratigraphic clues (see stratigraphy) or …
23mass spectrometry — or mass spectroscopy Analytic technique by which chemical substances are identified by sorting gaseous ions by mass using electric and magnetic fields. A mass spectrometer uses electrical means to detect the sorted ions, while a mass spectrograph …
24microscope — /muy kreuh skohp /, n. 1. an optical instrument having a magnifying lens or a combination of lenses for inspecting objects too small to be seen or too small to be seen distinctly and in detail by the unaided eye. 2. (cap.) Astron. the… …
25X-ray crystallography — can locate every atom in a zeolite, an aluminosilicate with many important applications, such as water purification. X ray crystallography is a method of determining the arrangement of atoms within a crystal, in which a beam of X rays strikes a… …
26Laser cutting — process on a sheet of steel. CAD (top) and stainless steel laser cut part (bottom) Laser cutting is a technology that uses a laser to cut materials, an …
27Photoresist — A photoresist is a light sensitive material used in several industrial processes, such as photolithography and photoengraving to form a patterned coating on a surface. Contents 1 Photoresist categories 1.1 Tone 1.2 Developing light wavelength …
28Fluorescence recovery after photobleaching — (FRAP) denotes an optical technique capable of quantifying the two dimensional lateral diffusion of a molecularly thin film containing fluorescently labeled probes, or to examine single cells. This technique is very useful in biological studies… …
29Spiral computed tomography — Diagnostics MeSH D036542 Spiral computed tomography is a computed tomography,[1] technology involving movement in a spiral …
30steel — steellike, adj. /steel/, n. 1. any of various modified forms of iron, artificially produced, having a carbon content less than that of pig iron and more than that of wrought iron, and having qualities of hardness, elasticity, and strength varying …
