  2. Diffusion map - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diffusion_map

    This computation is completely insensitive to the distribution of the points and therefore provides a separation of the statistics and the geometry of the data. Since diffusion maps give a global description of the data-set, they can measure the distances between pairs of sample points in the manifold in which the data is embedded.

  3. Kerr metric - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kerr_metric

    The Kerr metric or Kerr geometry describes the geometry of empty spacetime around a rotating uncharged axially symmetric black hole with a quasispherical event horizon.The Kerr metric is an exact solution of the Einstein field equations of general relativity; these equations are highly non-linear, which makes exact solutions very difficult to find.

  4. Radioactive decay - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radioactive_decay

    A sample of the substance is synthesized with a high concentration of unstable atoms. The presence of the substance in one or another part of the system is determined by detecting the locations of decay events. On the premise that radioactive decay is truly random (rather than merely chaotic), it has been used in hardware random-number ...

  5. Ionizing radiation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ionizing_radiation

    Charged nuclei are characteristic of galactic cosmic rays and solar particle events and except for alpha particles (charged helium nuclei) have no natural sources on earth. In space, however, very high energy protons, helium nuclei, and HZE ions can be initially stopped by relatively thin layers of shielding, clothes, or skin.

  6. Two-body problem in general relativity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Two-body_problem_in...

    The inner radius r inner is unstable, because the attractive third force strengthens much faster than the other two forces when r becomes small; if the particle slips slightly inwards from r inner (where all three forces are in balance), the third force dominates the other two and draws the particle inexorably inwards to r = 0.

  7. Poincaré map - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poincaré_map

    A two-dimensional Poincaré section of the forced Duffing equation. In mathematics, particularly in dynamical systems, a first recurrence map or Poincaré map, named after Henri Poincaré, is the intersection of a periodic orbit in the state space of a continuous dynamical system with a certain lower-dimensional subspace, called the Poincaré section, transversal to the flow of the system.

  8. Majorana equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Majorana_equation

    The charge conjugation operator appears directly in the 4-component version of the Majorana equation. When the spinor field is a charge conjugate of itself, that is, when =, then the Majorana equation reduces to the Dirac equation, and any solution can be interpreted as describing an electrically neutral field.

  9. 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.
