Eötvös experiment
Materials science; Material physics
Published in 1890, this experiment determined the equivalence of the gravitational and inertial masses of an object. The experiment suspended two equal weights of different ...
ultrashort pulses
Materials science; Material physics
Pulses in which the pulse duration is comparable to the period of oscillation of the electric field.
compressor
Materials science; Material physics
Pump classification in which the pressure rise of the gas is approximately greater than 1 atmosphere or more; the large increase in pressure causes a density increase or ...
blower
Materials science; Material physics
Pump classification in which the pressure rise of the gas is approximately less than 1 atmosphere but still significant; the increase in pressure may cause a slight density ...
lattice QCD
Materials science; Material physics
Quantum chromodynamics (QCD) is the accepted theory of strong interactions. To facilitate theoretical studies within QCD (which is a highly non-linear theory), numerical ...
measurement theory
Materials science; Material physics
Quantum mechanics has been successful in understanding nature. It is self-contained, providing self-consistent logics and necessary information of whatever subject. From a ...
norm
Materials science; Material physics
Quantum mechanics was formulated within the geometric framework of Hilbert spaces. A Hilbert space is a vector space. Each vector in this space represents a quantum mechanical ...
