Science; General science

A metal-semiconductor diode (two terminal electrical device) that exhibits a very nonlinear relation between voltage across it and current through it; formally known as a metallic ...

powder metallurgy

Science; General science

A metalworking process used to fabricate parts of simple or complex shape from a wide variety of metals and alloys in the form of powders. The process involves shaping of the ...

quartzite

Science; General science

A metamorphic rock consisting largely or entirely of quartz. Most quartzites are formed by metamorphism of sandstone; but some have developed by metasomatic introduction of ...

hornfels

Science; General science

A metamorphic rock that has been subjected to heating during contact metamorphism around intrusive igneous rocks. Hornfels is typically fine-grained, although where it is ...

lawsonite

Science; General science

A metamorphic silicate mineral related chemically and structurally to the epidote group of minerals. Its composition is Ca(H 2 O)Al 2 (OH) 2 (Si 2 O 7 ), and it is a sorosilicate ...

population dynamics

Science; General science

A metapopulation is a set of geographically distinct local populations occupying discrete habitat patches. In some patches, the local population can become extinct—for example, if ...
