  2. Coupling (physics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coupling_(physics)

    Particles which interact with each other are said to be coupled. This interaction is caused by one of the fundamental forces, whose strengths are usually given by a dimensionless coupling constant . In quantum electrodynamics , this value is known as the fine-structure constant α, approximately equal to 1/137.

  3. Coupling reaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coupling_reaction

    In one important reaction type, a main group organometallic compound of the type R-M (where R = organic group, M = main group centre metal atom) reacts with an organic halide of the type R'-X with formation of a new carbon-carbon bond in the product R-R'. The most common type of coupling reaction is the cross coupling reaction. [1] [2] [3]

  4. Chemotaxis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemotaxis

    The net movement can be seen in the beaker, where the bacteria accumulate around the origin of the attractant, and away from the origin of the repellent. Chemotaxis (from chemo- + taxis ) is the movement of an organism or entity in response to a chemical stimulus. [ 1 ]

  5. Plasmon coupling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plasmon_Coupling

    Plasmon coupling is a phenomenon that occurs when two or more plasmonic particles approach each other to a distance below approximately one diameter's length. Upon the occurrence of plasmon coupling, the resonance of individual particles start to hybridize, and their resonance spectrum peak wavelength will shift (either blueshift or redshift), depending on how surface charge density ...

  6. Cross-coupling reaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cross-coupling_reaction

    Often cross-coupling reactions require metal catalysts. One important reaction type is this: R−M + R'−X → R−R' + MX (R, R' = organic fragments, usually aryl; M = main group center such as Li or MgX; X = halide) These reactions are used to form carbon–carbon bonds but also carbon-heteroatom bonds.

  7. Reaction (physics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reaction_(physics)

    [1] [2] The third law is also more generally stated as: "To every action there is always opposed an equal reaction: or the mutual actions of two bodies upon each other are always equal, and directed to contrary parts." [3] The attribution of which of the two forces is the action and which is the reaction is arbitrary. Either of the two can be ...

  9. Plasma (physics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plasma_(physics)

    In most cases, the electrons and heavy plasma particles (ions and neutral atoms) separately have a relatively well-defined temperature; that is, their energy distribution function is close to a Maxwellian even in the presence of strong electric or magnetic fields. However, because of the large difference in mass between electrons and ions ...
