In solid-state physics, the work function (sometimes spelled workfunction) is the minimum thermodynamic work (i.e., energy) needed to remove an electron...

ENIAC (/ˈɛniæk/; Electronic Numerical Integrator and Computer) was the first programmable, electronic, general-purpose digital computer, completed in 1945...

Electronic engineering is a sub-discipline of electrical engineering that emerged in the early 20th century and is distinguished by the additional use...

An electronic calculator is typically a portable electronic device used to perform calculations, ranging from basic arithmetic to complex mathematics....

calculus, in which all functions are anonymous, in 1936, before electronic computers. In several programming languages, anonymous functions are introduced using...

properties may also be predicted. Typically, such studies assume the electronic wave function is adiabatically parameterized by the nuclear positions (i.e.,...

integrated circuits. Complex devices may have simple electronic representations of Boolean logic functions. The binary number system was refined by Gottfried...

design of electronic elliptic filters. While trigonometric functions are defined with reference to a circle, the Jacobi elliptic functions are a generalization...

the gamma function until the 1930s, when applications for the complex gamma function were discovered in theoretical physics. As electronic computers became...

German electronic band formed in Düsseldorf in 1970 by Ralf Hütter and Florian Schneider. Widely considered innovators and pioneers of electronic music...

Storyland is a browser-based narrative work of electronic literature. The project is included in the first Electronic Literature Collection. It was created...

An electronic cigarette (e-cigarette) or vape is a device that simulates tobacco smoking. It consists of an atomizer, a power source such as a battery...

order of the material's surface work function W, which for most metals has a value between 4 and 6 eV. The work function is the minimum energy needed to...

(undesired) coupling between components of an electronic circuit. By the end of 1912, researchers using early electronic amplifiers (audions) had discovered that...

Electronic music broadly is a group of music genres that employ electronic musical instruments, circuitry-based music technology and software, or general-purpose...

An electronic musical instrument or electrophone is a musical instrument that produces sound using electronic circuitry. Such an instrument sounds by outputting...

include the work required to remove the electron from wherever it came from. A precise understanding of the Fermi level—how it relates to electronic band structure...

Electronic Arts Inc. (EA) is an American video game company headquartered in Redwood City, California. Founded in May 1982 by former Apple employee Trip...

The electronic office, or e-office, was a term coined to cover the increasing use of computer-based information technology for office work, especially...

sequences of arithmetic or logical operations (computation). Modern digital electronic computers can perform generic sets of operations known as programs. These...
