13Post-perovskite — is a high pressure phase of MgSiO3, is composed of the prime oxide constituents of the Earth s rocky mantle (MgO and SiO2), and its pressure and temperature for stability imply that it is likely to occur in portions of the lowermost few hundred… …
14Inflation (cosmology) — Inflation model and Inflation theory redirect here. For a general rise in the price level, see Inflation. For other uses, see Inflation (disambiguation). Physical cosmology …
15Physical Sciences — ▪ 2009 Introduction Scientists discovered a new family of superconducting materials and obtained unique images of individual hydrogen atoms and of a multiple exoplanet system. Europe completed the Large Hadron Collider, and China and India took… …
16Colloidal crystal — A colloidal crystal is an ordered array of colloid particles, analogous to a standard crystal whose repeating subunits are atoms or molecules.[1] A natural example of this phenomenon can be found in the gem opal, where spheres of silica assume a… …
17Non-topological soliton — In quantum field theory, a non topological soliton (NTS) is a field configuration possessing, contrary to a topological one, a conserved Noether charge and stable against transformation into usual particles of this field for the following reason …
18Cosmic inflation — In physical cosmology, cosmic inflation is the idea that the universe passed through a phase of exponential expansion that was driven by a negative pressure vacuum energy density. [Liddle and Lyth (2000) and Mukhanov (2005) are recent cosmology… …
19Force field (chemistry) — In the context of molecular mechanics, a force field (also called a forcefield) refers to the functional form and parameter sets used to describe the potential energy of a system of particles (typically but not necessarily atoms). Force field… …
20Temperature-responsive polymer — A temperature responsive polymer is a polymer which undergoes a physical change when external thermal stimuli are presented. The ability to undergo such changes under easily controlled conditions makes this class of polymers fall into the… …
