121Wetting — is the contact between a liquid and a solid surface, resulting from intermolecular interactions when the two are brought together. The amount of wetting depends on the energies (or surface tensions) of the interfaces involved such that the total… …
122Microchannel plate detector — from the Daresbury Recoil Separator A micro channel plate (MCP) is a planar component used for detection of particles (electrons or ions) and impinging radiation (ultraviolet radiation and X rays). It is closely related to an electron multiplier …
123Continuous casting — The macrostructure of continuously cast copper (99.95% pure), etched, ∅ ≈ 83 mm. Continuous casting, also called strand casting, is the process whereby molten metal is solidified into a semifinished billet, bloom, or slab for subsequent rolling… …
124Vein (geology) — A quartz vein, prominent from the surrounding weathered rock In geology, a vein is a distinct sheetlike body of crystallized minerals within a rock. Veins form when mineral constituents carried by an aqueous solution within the rock mass are… …
125Kurt Lehovec — is one of the pioneers of the integrated circuit, 1959. He innovated the concept of p n junction isolation used in every circuit element with a guard ring : a p n junction surrounding the planar periphery of that element. This patent was assigned …
126Bicycle and motorcycle dynamics — A computer generated, simplified model of bike and rider demonstrating an uncontrolled right turn. An …
127Neutron depth profiling — (NDP) is a near surface analysis technique that is commonly used to obtain profiles of concentration as a function of depth for certain technologically important light elements in nearly any substrate. The technique was first proposed by Ziegler… …
128Differential interference contrast microscopy — Micrasterias furcata imaged in transmitted DIC microscopy. Differential interference contrast microscopy (DIC), also known as Nomarski Interference Contrast (NIC) or Nomarski microscopy, is an optical microscopy illumination technique used to… …
