51Schrödinger equation — For a more general introduction to the topic, please see Introduction to quantum mechanics. Quantum mechanics …
52Last mile — The last mile is the final leg of delivering connectivity from a communications provider to a customer. Usually referred to by the telecommunications and cable television industries, it is typically seen as an expensive challenge because fanning… …
53Atom interferometer — An Atom interferometer is an interferometer based on exploiting the wave character of atoms.OverviewInterferometry inherently depends on the wave nature of the object. As pointed out by de Broglie in his PhD thesis, particles, including atoms,… …
54Nobel Prizes — ▪ 2009 Introduction Prize for Peace The 2008 Nobel Prize for Peace was awarded to Martti Ahtisaari, former president (1994–2000) of Finland, for his work over more than 30 years in settling international disputes, many involving ethnic,… …
55Subwavelength-diameter optical fibre — A subwavelength diameter fibre wraps light around human hair. Subwavelength diameter optical fibre (SDF or SDOF) is an optical fibre whose diameter is less than the wavelength of the light being propagated through the fibre. An SDOF usually… …

57Laser safety — A typical laser warning symbol. Laser safety is safe design, use and implementation of lasers to minimize the risk of laser accidents, especially those involving eye injuries. Since even relatively small amounts of laser light can lead to… …
58Mathematics and Physical Sciences — ▪ 2003 Introduction Mathematics Mathematics in 2002 was marked by two discoveries in number theory. The first may have practical implications; the second satisfied a 150 year old curiosity. Computer scientist Manindra Agrawal of the… …
59Resonance — This article is about resonance in physics. For other uses, see Resonance (disambiguation). Resonant redirects here. For the phonological term, see Sonorant. Increase of amplitude as damping decreases and frequency approaches resonant frequency… …
60Geophysical MASINT — is a branch of Measurement and Signature Intelligence (MASINT) that involves phenomena transmitted through the earth (ground, water, atmosphere) and manmade structures including emitted or reflected sounds, pressure waves, vibrations, and… …
