23Electronvolt — meV, keV, MeV, GeV, TeV, PeV, and BeV redirect here. For other uses, see MEV, KEV, GEV, TEV, PEV, and BEV. In physics, the electron volt (symbol eV; also written electronvolt[1][2]) is a unit of energy equal to approximately 1.602×10−19joule… …
24Ionosphere — The ionosphere is a part of the upper atmosphere, comprising portions of the mesosphere, thermosphere and exosphere, distinguished because it is ionized by solar radiation. It plays an important part in atmospheric electricity and forms the inner …
25Beryllium — (pronEng|bəˈrɪliəm) is a chemical element with the symbol Be and atomic number 4. A bivalent element, beryllium is a steel grey, strong, light weight yet brittle alkaline earth metal. It is primarily used as a hardening agent in alloys, most… …
26Hall effect — For the Colombian band, see The Hall Effect (band). The Hall effect is the production of a voltage difference (the Hall voltage) across an electrical conductor, transverse to an electric current in the conductor and a magnetic field perpendicular …
27food preservation — Any method by which food is protected against spoilage by oxidation, bacteria, molds, and microorganisms. Traditional methods include dehydration, smoking, salting, controlled fermentation (including pickling), and candying; certain spices have… …

29Chemical ionization — (CI) is an ionization technique used in mass spectrometry.[1][2][3] Chemical ionization is a lower energy process than electron ionization. The lower energy yields less fragmentation, and usually a simpler spectrum. A typical CI spectra has an… …
30Range (particle radiation) — In passing through matter, charged particles ionize and thus lose energy in many steps, until their energy is (almost) zero. The distance to this point is called the range of the particle. The range depends on the type of particle, on its initial …
