  2. Superradiance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superradiance

    In quantum optics, superradiance is a phenomenon that occurs when a group of N emitters, such as excited atoms, interact with a common light field. If the wavelength of the light is much greater than the separation of the emitters, [2] then the emitters interact with the light in a collective and coherent fashion. [3]

  3. Microtubule - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microtubule

    Microtubule and tubulin metrics [1]. Microtubules are polymers of tubulin that form part of the cytoskeleton and provide structure and shape to eukaryotic cells. Microtubules can be as long as 50 micrometres, as wide as 23 to 27 nm [2] and have an inner diameter between 11 and 15 nm. [3]

  4. Radiative transfer equation and diffusion theory for photon ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radiative_transfer...

    The RTE is a differential equation describing radiance (, ^,).It can be derived via conservation of energy.Briefly, the RTE states that a beam of light loses energy through divergence and extinction (including both absorption and scattering away from the beam) and gains energy from light sources in the medium and scattering directed towards the beam.

  5. Strömgren sphere - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strömgren_sphere

    The density of excited hydrogen is low, but the paths may be long, so that the hypothesis of a super-radiance and other effects observed using lasers must be tested. A supposed super-radiant Strömgren's shell emits space-coherent, time-incoherent beams in the direction for which the path in excited hydrogen is maximal, that is, tangential to ...

  6. Aster (cell biology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aster_(cell_biology)

    Astral microtubules develop in the actin skeleton and interact with the cell cortex to aid in spindle orientation. They are organized into radial arrays around the centrosomes. The turn-over rate of this population of microtubules is higher than any other population. The role of astral microtubules is assisted by dyneins specific to this role ...

  7. Superdeterminism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superdeterminism

    Gerard 't Hooft has referred to his cellular automaton model of quantum mechanics as superdeterministic [14] though it has remained unclear whether it fulfills the definition. Some authors consider retrocausality in quantum mechanics to be an example of superdeterminism, whereas other authors treat the two cases as distinct. [ 15 ]

  8. Chemotherapy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemotherapy

    Microtubules are dynamic structures, which means that they are permanently in a state of assembly and disassembly. Vinca alkaloids and taxanes are the two main groups of anti-microtubule agents, and although both of these groups of drugs cause microtubule dysfunction, their mechanisms of action are completely opposite: Vinca alkaloids prevent ...

  9. Eukaryote - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eukaryote

    Motor proteins of microtubules, dynein and kinesin, and myosin of actin filaments, provide dynamic character of the network. [41] [42] Many eukaryotes have long slender motile cytoplasmic projections, called flagella, or multiple shorter structures called cilia. These organelles are variously involved in movement, feeding, and sensation.
