  2. Surrealist automatism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surrealist_automatism

    André Masson.Automatic Drawing. (1924). Ink on paper, 9 1 ⁄ 4 × 8 1 ⁄ 8" (23.5 × 20.6 cm). Museum of Modern Art, New York. Surrealist automatism is a method of art-making in which the artist suppresses conscious control over the making process, allowing the unconscious mind to have great sway.

  3. Spontaneous process - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spontaneous_process

    Furthermore, spontaneity makes no implication as to the speed at which the spontaneous process may occur - just because a process is spontaneous does not mean it will happen quickly (or at all). As an example, the conversion of a diamond into graphite is a spontaneous process at room temperature and pressure. Despite being spontaneous, this ...

  4. Self-assembly - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self-assembly

    Both processes explain how collective order develops from "dynamic small-scale interactions". [48] Self-organization is a non-equilibrium process where self-assembly is a spontaneous process that leads toward equilibrium. Self-assembly requires components to remain essentially unchanged throughout the process.

  5. Paranoiac-critical method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paranoiac-critical_method

    The paranoiac-critical method is a surrealist technique developed by Salvador Dalí in the early 1930s. [1] He employed it in the production of paintings and other artworks, especially those that involved optical illusions and other multiple images.

  6. Texture (visual arts) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Texture_(visual_arts)

    Paint texture on The Sower with Setting Sun by Vincent van Gogh. In the visual arts, texture refers to the perceived surface quality of a work of art.It is an element found in both two-dimensional and three-dimensional designs, and it is characterized by its visual and physical properties.

  7. Spontaneous emission - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spontaneous_emission

    Spontaneous emission is the process in which a quantum mechanical system (such as a molecule, an atom or a subatomic particle) transits from an excited energy state to a lower energy state (e.g., its ground state) and emits a quantized amount of energy in the form of a photon. Spontaneous emission is ultimately responsible for most of the light ...

  8. Chemical potential - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemical_potential

    Therefore, it is a spontaneous process. Another example, not based on concentration but on phase, is an ice cube on a plate above 0 °C. An H 2 O molecule that is in the solid phase (ice) has a higher chemical potential than a water molecule that is in the liquid phase (water) above 0 °C.

  9. Protein folding - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protein_folding

    The technique allows one to measure folding rates at single-molecule level; for example, optical tweezers have been recently applied to study folding and unfolding of proteins involved in blood coagulation. von Willebrand factor (vWF) is a protein with an essential role in blood clot formation process. It discovered – using single molecule ...
