In materials science, segregation is the enrichment of atoms, ions, or molecules at a microscopic region in a materials system. While the terms segregation and adsorption are essentially synonymous, in practice, segregation is often used to describe the partitioning of molecular constituents to defects from solid solutions, [1] whereas adsorption is generally used to describe such partitioning ...
In 2018, British science journalist and author Angela Saini expressed strong concern about the return of these ideas into the mainstream. [146] Saini followed up on this idea with her 2019 book Superior: The Return of Race Science. [147] One such post-World War II scientific racism researcher is Arthur Jensen.

One example is a gene drive complex, called a segregation distorter, that "cheats" during meiosis or gametogenesis and thus is present in more than half of the functional gametes. The most studied examples are sd in Drosophila melanogaster ( fruit fly ), [ 9 ] t haplotype in Mus musculus ( mouse ) and sk in Neurospora spp. ( fungus ).
