  2. Cell (biology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cell_(biology)

    Among the many-celled groups are animals and plants. The number of cells in these groups vary with species; it has been estimated that the human body contains around 37 trillion (3.72×10 13) cells, [7] and more recent studies put this number at around 30 trillion (~36 trillion cells in the male, ~28 trillion in the female). [8]

  3. Bioceramic - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bioceramic

    The ceramic particulate reinforcement has led to the choice of more materials for implant applications that include ceramic/ceramic, ceramic/polymer, and ceramic/metal composites. Among these composites ceramic/polymer composites have been found to release toxic elements into the surrounding tissues.

  4. Cell biology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cell_biology

    A cell is the basic unit of life that is responsible for the living and functioning of organisms. [3] Cell biology is the study of the structural and functional units of cells. Cell biology encompasses both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells and has many subtopics which may include the study of cell metabolism , cell communication , cell cycle ...

  5. Penrose tiling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Penrose_tiling

    The smaller A-tile, denoted A S, is an obtuse Robinson triangle, while the larger A-tile, A L, is acute; in contrast, a smaller B-tile, denoted B S, is an acute Robinson triangle, while the larger B-tile, B L, is obtuse. Concretely, if A S has side lengths (1, 1, φ), then A L has side lengths (φ, φ, 1). B-tiles can be related to such A-tiles ...

  6. Ceramic matrix composite - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ceramic_matrix_composite

    Fracture surface of a fiber-reinforced ceramic composed of SiC fibers and SiC matrix. The fiber pull-out mechanism shown is the key to CMC properties. CMC shaft sleeves. In materials science ceramic matrix composites (CMCs) are a subgroup of composite materials and a subgroup of ceramics. They consist of ceramic fibers embedded in a ceramic matrix.

  7. Porcelain tile - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Porcelain_tile

    Porcelain tiles or ceramic tiles are either tiles made of porcelain, or relatively tough ceramic tiles made with a variety of materials and methods, that are suitable for use as floor tiles, or for walls. They have a low water absorption rate, generally less than 0.5 percent. The clay used to build porcelain tiles is generally denser than ...

  8. Structural clay tile - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Structural_clay_tile

    Also called building tile, structural terra cotta, hollow tile, saltillo tile, and clay block, the material is an extruded clay shape with substantial depth that allows it to be laid in the same manner as other clay or concrete masonry. In North America it was chiefly used during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, reaching peak popularity ...

  9. Truncated order-7 triangular tiling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Truncated_order-7...

    In geometry, the order-7 truncated triangular tiling, sometimes called the hyperbolic soccerball, [1] is a semiregular tiling of the hyperbolic plane. There are two hexagons and one heptagon on each vertex, forming a pattern similar to a conventional soccer ball (truncated icosahedron) with heptagons in place of pentagons.
