  2. Desorption - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Desorption

    Desorption is the physical process where adsorbed atoms or molecules are released from a surface into the surrounding vacuum or fluid. This occurs when a molecule gains enough energy to overcome the activation barrier and the binding energy that keep it attached to the surface.

  3. David North (character) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_North_(character)

    This version only possesses kinetic energy absorption and is the father of series original character Christy Nord. After being captured, brainwashed, and forced to work for Weapon X's Team X, Maverick is sent to capture Christie until Wolverine and Mystique join forces to stop him.

  4. Radioactive decay - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radioactive_decay

    The Szilard–Chalmers effect is the breaking of a chemical bond as a result of a kinetic energy imparted from radioactive decay. It operates by the absorption of neutrons by an atom and subsequent emission of gamma rays, often with significant amounts of kinetic energy.

  5. Wheeler–Feynman absorber theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wheeler–Feynman_absorber...

    The Wheeler–Feynman absorber theory (also called the Wheeler–Feynman time-symmetric theory), named after its originators, the physicists Richard Feynman and John Archibald Wheeler, is a theory of electrodynamics based on a relativistic correct extension of action at a distance electron particles.

  6. Kinetic energy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kinetic_energy

    The total kinetic energy of a system depends on the inertial frame of reference: it is the sum of the total kinetic energy in a center of momentum frame and the kinetic energy the total mass would have if it were concentrated in the center of mass.

  7. Superpower (ability) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superpower_(ability)

    A superpower is a special or extraordinary superhuman ability far greater than what is considered normal. Superpowers are typically displayed in science fiction and fantasy media such as comic books, TV shows, video games, and film as the key attribute of a superhero.

  8. Kerma (physics) - Wikipedia

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

    In radiation physics, kerma is an acronym for "kinetic energy released per unit mass" (alternately, "kinetic energy released in matter", [1] "kinetic energy released in material", [2] or "kinetic energy released in materials" [3]), defined as the sum of the initial kinetic energies of all the charged particles liberated by uncharged ionizing radiation (i.e., indirectly ionizing radiation such ...

  9. Space-based solar power - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space-based_solar_power

    Its advantages include a higher collection of energy due to the lack of reflection and absorption by the atmosphere, the possibility of very little night, and a better ability to orient to face the Sun. Space-based solar power systems convert sunlight to some other form of energy (such as microwaves) which can be transmitted through the ...
