Quantum computer
A quantum computer is any device for computation that makes direct use of distinctively quantum mechanical phenomena, such as superposition and entanglement, to perform operations on data. In a ... > more -
Radioactive decay
Radioactive decay is the set of various processes by which unstable atomic nuclei (nuclides) emit subatomic particles (radiation). Decay is said to occur in the parent nucleus and produces a daughter ... > more -
Magnetic field
In physics, a magnetic field is that part of the electromagnetic field that exerts a force on a moving charge. A magnetic field can be caused either by another moving charge (i.e., by an electric ... > more -
Nuclear fusion
In physics, nuclear fusion is the process by which multiple nuclei join together to form a heavier nucleus. It is accompanied by the release or absorption of energy depending on the masses of the ... > more -
Luminosity
In general physics, luminosity (more properly called luminance) is the density of luminous intensity in a given ... > more -
Kinetic energy
Kinetic energy is energy that a body possess as a result of its motion. Kinetic energy as it is mathematically written is the "classic statement" of: Kinetic energy is equal to half the mass of an ... > more -
Black body
In physics, a black body is an object that absorbs all electromagnetic radiation that falls onto it. No radiation passes through it and none is reflected, yet in classical physics, it can ... > more -
Materials science
Materials science is an interdisciplinary field involving the properties of matter and its applications to various areas of science and engineering. It includes elements of applied physics and ... > more
