quantum theory of light
111Fuzzball (string theory) — Fuzzballs (also called stringy stars) are conjectured by some string theorists to be the true quantum description of black holes. The proposal is that string theory would resolve two major problems of classical black holes the singularity of… …
112Magnetization reversal by circularly polarized light — Discovered only recently (2006) by C.D. Stanciu and F. Hansteen and published in Physical Review Letters[1][2] this effect is generally called all optical magnetization reversal. This magnetization reversal technique refers to a method of… …
113Kaluza–Klein theory — In physics, Kaluza–Klein theory (or KK theory, for short) is a model that seeks to unify the two fundamental forces of gravitation and electromagnetism. The theory was first published in 1921 and was discovered by the mathematician Theodor Kaluza …
114Vibration theory of olfaction — The Vibration theory of smell proposes that a molecule s smell character is due to its vibrational frequency in the infrared range. The theory is opposed to the more widely accepted shape theory of olfaction, which proposes that a molecule s… …
115Solid Light — is a theory that says light can behave as a solid. Andrew Greentree, Jared Cole, and Lloyd Hollenberg of the University of Melbourne, and Charles Tahan of the University of Cambridge demonstrated theoretically how to engineer a phase transition… …
116New World Order (conspiracy theory) — This article is about the use of the term New World Order in conspiracy theory. For other uses, see New World Order. The reverse side of the Grea …
117Dynamical theory of diffraction — The dynamical theory of diffraction describes the interaction of waves with a regular lattice. The wave fields traditionally described are X rays, neutrons or electrons and the regular lattice, atomic crystal structures or nanometer scaled multi… …
118knot theory — ▪ mathematics in mathematics, the study of closed curves in three dimensions, and their possible deformations without one part cutting through another. Knots may be regarded as formed by interlacing and looping a piece of string in any… …
119band theory — In chemistry and physics, a theoretical model describing the states of electrons in solid materials, which can have energy values only within certain specific ranges, called bands. Ranges of energy between two allowed bands are called forbidden… …
120Continuum (theory) — For other uses, see Continuum (disambiguation). Continuum theories or models explain variation as involving a gradual quantitative transition without abrupt changes or discontinuities. It can be contrasted with categorical models which propose… …
