51Defining equation (physics) — For common nomenclature of base quantities used in this article, see Physical quantity. For 4 vector modifications used in relativity, see Four vector. Very often defining equations are in the form of a constitutive equation, since parameters of… …
52Photophosphorylation — through light dependent reactions of photosynthesis at the thylakoid membrane The production of ATP using the energy of sunlight is called photophosphorylation. Only two sources of energy are available to living organisms: sunlight and reduction… …
53Molecular diffusion — This article is about spontaneous dispersion of mass. For a more generic treatment of diffusion, see Diffusion. Diffusion from a microscopic and macroscopic point of view. Initially, there are solute molecules on the left side of a barrier… …
54Electrokinetic phenomena — is a family of several different effects that occur in heterogeneous fluids or in porous bodies filled with fluid. The term heterogeneous here means a fluid containing particles. Particles can be solid, liquid or gas bubbles with sizes on the… …
55Double layer (plasma) — This article is about the structure in plasma physics. For other uses, see Double layer. Saturnian aurora whose reddish colour is characteristic of ionized hydrogen plasma.[1] Powered by the Saturnian equivalent of (filamentary) Birkeland… …
56Time-of-flight mass spectrometry — (TOFMS) is a method of mass spectrometry in which ions are accelerated by an electric field of known strength. [Stephens, W. E., [http://link.aps.org/abstract/PR/v69/p674/s2 A Pulsed Mass Spectrometer with Time Dispersion] Phys. Rev. , 1946, 69 …
57Sintering — is a method used to create objects from powders. It is based on atomic diffusion. Diffusion occurs in any material above absolute zero but it occurs much faster at higher temperatures. In most sintering processes the powdered material is held in… …
58Nanofluidic circuitry — is a nanotechnology aiming for control of fluids in nanometer scale. Due to the effect of an electrical double layer within the fluid channel, the behavior of nanofluid is observed to be significantly different compared with its microfluidic… …
59Adenosine triphosphate — For the Japanese rock band, see Adenosine Tri Phosphate (band). Adenosine triphosphate …
60Electron avalanche — An electron avalanche is a process in which a number of free electrons in a medium (usually a gas) are subjected to strong acceleration by an electric field, ionizing the medium s atoms by collision (called impact ionization), thereby forming new …
