101Treadmilling — is a phenomenon observed in many cellular cytoskeletal filaments, especially in actin filaments and microtubules. It occurs when one end of a filament grows in length while the other end shrinks resulting in a section of filament seemingly moving …
102Galvanization — or galvanisation refers to any of several electrochemical processes named after the Italian scientist Luigi Galvani.MeaningsElectricityOriginally, galvanization was the administration of electric shocks (in the 19th century also termed Faradism …
103Snow — Snowfall redirects here. For other uses, see Snow (disambiguation) or Snowfall (disambiguation). Snow is a type of precipitation in the form of crystalline water ice, consisting of a multitude of snowflakes that fall from clouds. The process of… …
104RNA interference — (RNAi) is a mechanism that inhibits gene expression at the stage of translation or by hindering the transcription of specific genes. RNAi targets include RNA from viruses and transposons (significant for some forms of innate immune response), and …
105Crystallite — Galvanized surface with visible crystallites of zinc. Crystallites in the steel under the coating are microscopic. Crystallites are small, often microscopic crystals that, held together through highly defective boundaries, constitute a… …
106Epitaxy — refers to the method of depositing a monocrystalline film on a monocrystalline substrate. The deposited film is denoted as epitaxial film or epitaxial layer. The term epitaxy comes from a Greek root ( epi above and taxis in ordered manner ) which …
107Cyclic voltammetry — Typical cyclic voltammogram where ipc and ipa show the peak cathodic and anodic current respectively for a reversible reaction. Cyclic voltammetry or CV is a type of potentiodynamic electrochemical measurement. In a cyclic voltammetry experiment… …
108Phase Change Material — A phase change material (PCM) is a substance with a high heat of fusion which, melting and solidifying at a certain temperature, is capable of storing and releasing large amounts of energy. Heat is absorbed or released when the material changes… …
109Grain boundary — A grain boundary is the interface between two grains in a polycrystalline material. Grain boundaries disrupt the motion of dislocations through a material, so reducing crystallite size is a common way to improve strength, as described by the Hall …
110Dentinogenesis — is the formation of dentin, a substance that forms the majority of teeth. Dentinogenesis is performed by odontoblasts, which are a special type of biological cells on the outside of dental pulps, and it begins at the late bell stage of a… …
