  2. Optics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optics

    Optics is the branch of physics that studies the behaviour and properties of light, including its interactions with matter and the construction of instruments that use or detect it. [1]

  3. Crystal habit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crystal_habit

    Smoky quartz with spessartine on top of feldspar matrix, featuring different crystal habits (shapes). In mineralogy, crystal habit is the characteristic external shape of an individual crystal or aggregate of crystals.

  4. Tabby cat - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tabby_cat

    A fifth pattern is formed by any of the four basic patterns being included as part of a patched pattern. A patched tabby is a cat with calico or tortoiseshell markings combined with patches of tabby coat (such cats are called caliby and torbie, respectively, in cat fancy). [1] All five patterns have been observed in random-bred populations.

  5. X-ray diffraction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X-ray_diffraction

    The incoming beam (coming from upper left) causes each scatterer to re-radiate a small portion of its intensity as a spherical wave. If scatterers are arranged symmetrically with a separation d, these spherical waves will be in sync (add constructively) only in directions where their path-length difference 2d sin θ equals an integer multiple of the wavelength λ.

  6. Quartz - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quartz

    Quartz is a hard, crystalline mineral composed of silica (silicon dioxide).The atoms are linked in a continuous framework of SiO 4 silicon–oxygen tetrahedra, with each oxygen being shared between two tetrahedra, giving an overall chemical formula of SiO 2.

  7. Corelle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corelle

    Corelle serving bowl, in "Butterfly Gold" [1] [2] pattern introduced at launch in 1970. Corelle is a brand of glassware and dishware. It is made of Vitrelle, a tempered glass product consisting of two types of glass laminated into three layers. [3] [4] It was introduced by Corning Glass Works in 1970, but is now manufactured and sold by Corelle ...

  8. Protein secondary structure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protein_secondary_structure

    Early methods of secondary-structure prediction were restricted to predicting the three predominate states: helix, sheet, or random coil. These methods were based on the helix- or sheet-forming propensities of individual amino acids, sometimes coupled with rules for estimating the free energy of forming secondary structure elements.

  9. Fingerprint - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fingerprint

    Pattern based algorithms compare the basic fingerprint patterns (arch, whorl, and loop) between a previously stored template and a candidate fingerprint. This requires that the images can be aligned in the same orientation. To do this, the algorithm finds a central point in the fingerprint image and centers on that.
