  2. Grey matter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grey_matter

    Grey matter, or gray matter in American English, is a major component of the central nervous system, consisting of neuronal cell bodies, neuropil (dendrites and unmyelinated axons), glial cells (astrocytes and oligodendrocytes), synapses, and capillaries.

  3. Soil color - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soil_color

    Soil colors influenced by mineralogy. Soil color is often the most visually apparent property of soil. While color itself does not influence the behavior or practical use of soils, [1] it does indicate important information about the soil organic matter content, mineralogy, moisture, and drainage.

  4. List of materials properties - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_materials_properties

    A material property is an intensive property of a material, i.e., a physical property or chemical property that does not depend on the amount of the material. These quantitative properties may be used as a metric by which the benefits of one material versus another can be compared, thereby aiding in materials selection.

  5. Color of chemicals - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Color_of_chemicals

    The color of chemicals is a physical property of chemicals that in most cases comes from the excitation of electrons due to an absorption of energy performed by the chemical. The study of chemical structure by means of energy absorption and release is generally referred to as spectroscopy .

    The tegmentum area includes various different structures, such as the rostral end of the reticular formation, several nuclei controlling eye movements, the periaqueductal gray matter, the red nucleus, the substantia nigra, and the ventral tegmental area. [3] The tegmentum is the location of several cranial nerve nuclei. The nuclei of CN III and ...

  9. Exotic matter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exotic_matter

    Negative mass would possess some strange properties, such as accelerating in the direction opposite of applied force.Despite being inconsistent with the expected behavior of "normal" matter, negative mass is mathematically consistent and introduces no violation of conservation of momentum or energy.
