31Nanogeoscience — is the study of nanoscale phenomena related to geological systems. Predominantly, this is interrogated by studying environmental nanoparticles between 1 100 nanometers in size. Other applicable fields of study include studying materials with at… …
32volcano — /vol kay noh/, n., pl. volcanoes, volcanos. 1. a vent in the earth s crust through which lava, steam, ashes, etc., are expelled, either continuously or at irregular intervals. 2. a mountain or hill, usually having a cuplike crater at the summit,… …

34Crystallization of polymers — Spherulites viewed between crossed polarizers in an optical microscope. Crystallization of polymers is a process associated with partial alignment of their molecular chains. These chains fold together and form ordered regions called lamellae,… …
35Corrosion fatigue — is fatigue in a corrosive environment. It is the mechanical degradation of a material under the joint action of corrosion and cyclic loading. Nearly all engineering structures experience some form of alternating stress, and are exposed to harmful …
36Nuclear fuel response to reactor accidents — This page is devoted to a discussion of how uranium dioxide nuclear fuel behaves during both normal nuclear reactor operation and under reactor accident conditions such as overheating. Work in this area is often very expensive to conduct, and so… …
37Mollusc shell — Closed and open shells of a marine bivalve, Petricola pholadiformis. A bivalve shell is composed of two hinged valves which are joined by a ligament …
38Metal oxide adhesion — The strength of metal oxide adhesion effectively determines the wetting of the metal oxide interface. The strength of this adhesion is important, for instance, in production of light bulbs and fiber matrix composites that depend on the… …
39Behavior of nuclear fuel during a reactor accident — This page is devoted to a discussion of how uranium dioxide nuclear fuel behaves during both normal nuclear reactor operation and under reactor accident conditions such as overheating. Work in this area is often very expensive to conduct, and so… …
40Supercooling — is the process of chilling a liquid below its freezing point, without it becoming solid.A liquid below its freezing point will crystallize in the presence of a seed crystal or nucleus around which a crystal structure can form. However, lacking… …
