  2. Doneness - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doneness

    Doneness is a gauge of how thoroughly cooked a cut of meat is based on its color, juiciness, and internal temperature. The gradations are most often used in reference to beef (especially steaks and roasts) but are also applicable to other types of meat. Gradations, their descriptions, and their associated temperatures vary regionally, with ...

  3. Pittsburgh rare - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pittsburgh_rare

    Pittsburgh rare. A Pittsburgh rare steak is one that has been heated to a very high temperature very quickly, so it is charred on the outside but still rare or raw on the inside. The degree of rareness and the amount of charring on the outside may vary according to taste. The term "Pittsburgh rare" is used in some parts of the American Midwest ...

  4. Curie temperature - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curie_temperature

    Above the Curie temperature, the magnetic spins are randomly aligned in a paramagnet unless a magnetic field is applied. In physics and materials science, the Curie temperature (TC), or Curie point, is the temperature above which certain materials lose their permanent magnetic properties, which can (in most cases) be replaced by induced magnetism.

    Although it is extremely rare, temperatures during late (astronomical) winter (generally March 1–20) can reach up to and well over 80 °F (27 °C). In 2012, there were eight days in the month of March with temperatures 80 °F (27 °C)+ (with a ninth day occurring in many suburban areas) during the record-breaking March 2012 North American ...

    The latest brown dwarf proposed for the Y spectral type, WISE 1828+2650, is a > Y2 dwarf with an effective temperature originally estimated around 300 K, the temperature of the human body. [ 101 ] [ 102 ] [ 109 ] Parallax measurements have, however, since shown that its luminosity is inconsistent with it being colder than ~400 K.

  9. Heat burst - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heat_burst

    t. e. In meteorology, a heat burst is a rare atmospheric phenomenon characterized by a sudden, localized increase in air temperature near the Earth's surface. Heat bursts typically occur during night-time and are associated with decaying thunderstorms. [1] They are also characterized by extremely dry air and are sometimes associated with very ...
