  2. List of particles - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_particles

    On 4 July 2012, the discovery of a new particle with a mass between 125 and 127 GeV/c 2 was announced; physicists suspected that it was the Higgs boson. Since then, the particle has been shown to behave, interact, and decay in many of the ways predicted for Higgs particles by the Standard Model, as well as having even parity and zero spin, two ...

  3. Extracellular vesicle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extracellular_vesicle

    Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are lipid bilayer-delimited particles that are naturally released from almost all types of cells but, unlike a cell, cannot replicate. EVs range in diameter from near the size of the smallest physically possible unilamellar liposome (around 20-30 nanometers) to as large as 10 microns or more, although the vast majority of EVs are smaller than 200 nm.

  4. Fermion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fermion

    A composite particle may fall into either class depending on its composition. In particle physics , a fermion is a subatomic particle that follows Fermi–Dirac statistics . Fermions have a half-integer spin ( spin ⁠ 1 / 2 ⁠ , spin ⁠ 3 / 2 ⁠ , etc.) and obey the Pauli exclusion principle .

  5. Plastoquinone - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plastoquinone

    Plastoquinone (PQ) is a terpenoid-quinone (meroterpenoid) molecule involved in the electron transport chain in the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis.The most common form of plastoquinone, known as PQ-A or PQ-9, is a 2,3-dimethyl-1,4-benzoquinone molecule with a side chain of nine isoprenyl units.

  6. Vocative case - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vocative_case

    The vocative is distinct in singular and identical to the nominative in the plural, for all inflected nouns. Nouns with a nominative singular ending in -a have a vocative singular usually identically written but distinct in accentuation. In Lithuanian, the form that a given noun takes depends on its declension class and, sometimes, on its gender.

  7. Population balance equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Population_balance_equation

    Consider the average number of particles with particle properties denoted by a particle state vector (x,r) (where x corresponds to particle properties like size, density, etc. also known as internal coordinates and, r corresponds to spatial position or external coordinates) dispersed in a continuous phase defined by a phase vector Y(r,t) (which again is a function of all such vectors which ...

  8. Micelle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Micelle

    Particle of colloidal dimensions that exists in equilibrium with the molecules or ions in solution from which it is formed. [1] [2] Micelle (polymers) Organized auto-assembly formed in a liquid and composed of amphiphilic macromolecules, in general amphiphilic di- or tri-block copolymers made of solvophilic and solvophobic blocks. Note 1

  9. Redundancy principle (biology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Redundancy_principle_(biology)

    The motion of a particle located at position can be described by the Smoluchowski's limit of the Langevin equation: [11] [12] = + (), where is the diffusion coefficient of the particle, is the friction coefficient per unit of mass, () the force per unit of mass, and is a Brownian motion.
