  2. Interchange instability - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interchange_instability

    [1] [2] The interchange instability is a key issue in the field of fusion energy, where magnetic fields are used to confine a plasma in a volume surrounded by the field. The basic concept was first noted in a 1954 paper by Martin David Kruskal and Martin Schwarzschild , who demonstrated that a situation similar to the Rayleigh–Taylor ...

  3. List of mesons - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_mesons

    Mesons named with the letter "f" are scalar mesons (as opposed to a pseudo-scalar meson), and mesons named with the letter "a" are axial-vector mesons (as opposed to an ordinary vector meson) a.k.a. an isoscalar vector meson, while the letters "b" and "h" refer to axial-vector mesons with positive parity, negative C-parity, and quantum numbers I G of 1 + and 0 − respectively.

  4. Pion - Wikipedia

    They are unstable, with the charged pions π + and π − decaying after a mean lifetime of 26.033 nanoseconds (2.6033 × 10 −8 seconds), and the neutral pion π 0 decaying after a much shorter lifetime of 85 attoseconds (8.5 × 10 −17 seconds). [1]

    Is, among other things, a powerful but unstable explosive that will even affect the Daleks' body casings (and, ironically, is also the material used in the makeup of said body casings). Dark Metal DC Comics: A metal discovered by Batman in the Dark Nights: Metal storyline. It can link the known multiverse with the "Dark Multiverse." Dilithium ...

  6. Valley of stability - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valley_of_stability

    The Segrè chart may be considered a map of the nuclear valley. The region of proton and neutron combinations outside of the valley of stability is referred to as the sea of instability. [4] [5] Scientists have long searched for long-lived heavy isotopes outside of the valley of stability, [6] [7] [8] hypothesized by Glenn T. Seaborg in the ...

  7. Magnetorotational instability - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetorotational_instability

    The magnetorotational instability (MRI) is a fluid instability that causes an accretion disk orbiting a massive central object to become turbulent.It arises when the angular velocity of a conducting fluid in a magnetic field decreases as the distance from the rotation center increases.

  8. Electrospray ionization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrospray_ionization

    Sample compounds are extracted into the solvent which is again aerosolized as highly charged droplets that evaporate to form highly charged ions. After ionization, the ions enter the atmospheric pressure interface of the mass spectrometer. DESI allows for ambient ionization of samples at atmospheric pressure, with little sample preparation.

  9. Horseshoe map - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horseshoe_map

    For example, the map on the right needs to be extended to a diffeomorphism of the sphere by using a “cap” that wraps around the equator. The horseshoe map is an Axiom A diffeomorphism that serves as a model for the general behavior at a transverse homoclinic point, where the stable and unstable manifolds of a periodic point intersect.
