11radiation measurement — ▪ technology Introduction technique for detecting the intensity and characteristics of ionizing radiation, such as alpha, beta, and gamma rays or neutrons, for the purpose of measurement. The term ionizing radiation refers to those… …
12Electronic noise — is an unwanted signal characteristic of all electronic circuits. Depending on the circuit, the noise put out by electronic devices can vary greatly. This noise comes from many different electronic effects.Thermal noise and shot noise are inherent …
13Noise (electronics) — Electronic noise [1] is a random fluctuation in an electrical signal, a characteristic of all electronic circuits. Noise generated by electronic devices varies greatly, as it can be produced by several different effects. Thermal noise is… …
14Magnetism — This article is about magnetic materials. For information about objects and devices that produce a magnetic field, see magnet. For fields that magnets and currents produce, see magnetic field. For other uses, see magnetism (disambiguation).… …
15diffusion — 1. The random movement of molecules or ions or small particles in solution or suspension under the influence of brownian (thermal) motion toward a uniform distribution throughout the available volume; the rate is relatively rapid among liquids an …
16Van der Waals force — In physical chemistry, the van der Waals force (or van der Waals interaction), named after Dutch scientist Johannes Diderik van der Waals, is the sum of the attractive or repulsive forces between molecules (or between parts of the same molecule)… …
17JN — may mean: * Jan Mayen: FIPS PUB 10 4 territory code. * Johnson Nyquist noise (also thermal noise, Johnson noise or Nyquist noise), the noise generated by the random thermal motion of the electric current carriers inside an electrical conductor. * …
18Grotthuss mechanism — [ hydrogen bond network through a series of covalent bond cleavage/formation.] The Grotthuss Mechanism is the mechanism by which an excess proton or protonic defect diffuses through the hydrogen bond network of water molecules or other hydrogen… …
19Mechanosynthesis — Part of a series of articles on Molecular Nanotechnology …
20Chemosynthesis — In biochemistry, chemosynthesis is the biological conversion of one or more carbon molecules (usually carbon dioxide or methane) and nutrients into organic matter using the oxidation of inorganic molecules (e.g. hydrogen gas, hydrogen sulfide) or …
