Experiments directed toward developing fusion power are invariably done with dedicated machines which can be classified according to the principles they...

Criticism of the theory of relativity of Albert Einstein was mainly expressed in the early years after its publication in the early twentieth century,...

In quantum computing, a qubit is a unit of information analogous to a bit (binary digit) in classical computing, but it is affected by quantum mechanical...

An electrometer is an electrical instrument for measuring electric charge or electrical potential difference. There are many different types, ranging from...

A fibre-optic gyroscope (FOG) senses changes in orientation using the Sagnac effect, thus performing the function of a mechanical gyroscope. However its...

The Kalina cycle, developed by Alexander Kalina, is a thermodynamic process for converting thermal energy into usable mechanical power. It uses a solution...

In quantum physics and quantum chemistry, an avoided crossing (sometimes called intended crossing, non-crossing or anticrossing) is the phenomenon where...

The Foldy–Wouthuysen transformation was historically significant and was formulated by Leslie Lawrance Foldy and Siegfried Adolf Wouthuysen in 1949 to...

The derivatives of scalars, vectors, and second-order tensors with respect to second-order tensors are of considerable use in continuum mechanics. These...

A ball-pen probe is a modified Langmuir probe used to measure the plasma potential in magnetized plasmas. The ball-pen probe balances the electron and...

Roberto Aureliano Salmeron (June 16, 1922 – June 17, 2020) was a Brazilian electrical engineer and experimental nuclear physicist and an emeritus Research...

A Stüve diagram is one type of thermodynamic diagram commonly used in weather analysis and forecasting. This diagram has a simplicity in that it uses straight...

In statistical physics, directed percolation (DP) refers to a class of models that mimic filtering of fluids through porous materials along a given direction...

Berend Wilhelm Feddersen (26 March 1832 in Schleswig – 1 July 1918 in Leipzig) was a German physicist. Feddersen studied chemistry and physics at the University...

The cascaded arc is a wall-stabilized thermal electric arc discharge that produces a high density, low temperature plasma. The cascaded arc source, developed...
