2. Quartz inversion - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quartz_inversion

   The room-temperature form of quartz, α-quartz, undergoes a reversible change in crystal structure at 573 °C to form β-quartz. This phenomenon is called an inversion, and for the α to β quartz inversion is accompanied by a linear expansion of 0.45%. This inversion can lead to cracking of ceramic ware if cooling occurs too quickly through ...

3. Engineered stone - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Engineered_stone

   Engineered stone. Engineered stone is a composite material made of crushed stone bound together by an adhesive to create a solid surface. The adhesive is most commonly polymer resin, with some newer versions using cement mix. This category includes engineered quartz (SiO 2 ), polymer concrete and engineered marble stone. [ 1]

It designs, develops and provides computer hardware as well as related products and services, including laptops, desktops, motherboards ...

5. 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. Quartz is, therefore, classified structurally as a framework silicate mineral and ...

6. Microsatellite instability - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsatellite_instability

   Microsatellite instability ( MSI) is the condition of genetic hypermutability (predisposition to mutation) that results from impaired DNA mismatch repair (MMR). The presence of MSI represents phenotypic evidence that MMR is not functioning normally. MMR corrects errors that spontaneously occur during DNA replication, such as single base ...

7. Fused quartz - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fused_quartz

   Fused quartz, fused silica or quartz glass is a glass consisting of almost pure silica (silicon dioxide, SiO 2) in amorphous (non- crystalline) form. This differs from all other commercial glasses, such as soda-lime glass, lead glass, or borosilicate glass, in which other ingredients are added which change the glasses' optical and physical ...
