  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. Exciton - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exciton

    An exciton is a bound state of an electron and an electron hole which are attracted to each other by the electrostatic Coulomb force resulting from their opposite charges. It is an electrically neutral quasiparticle regarded as an elementary excitation primarily in condensed matter, such as insulators, semiconductors, some metals, and in some liquids.

  5. Chemical biology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemical_biology

    An overview of the different components included in the field of chemical biology. Chemical biology is a scientific discipline between the fields of chemistry and biology.The discipline involves the application of chemical techniques, analysis, and often small molecules produced through synthetic chemistry, to the study and manipulation of biological systems.

  6. 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 ...

  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. Excited state - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Excited_state

    Atoms can be excited by heat, electricity, or light. The hydrogen atom provides a simple example of this concept.. The ground state of the hydrogen atom has the atom's single electron in the lowest possible orbital (that is, the spherically symmetric "1s" wave function, which, so far, has been demonstrated to have the lowest possible quantum numbers).

  9. 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.
