  2. Texture filtering - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Texture_filtering

    Mipmapping is a standard technique used to save some of the filtering work needed during texture minification. [2] It is also highly beneficial for cache coherency - without it the memory access pattern during sampling from distant textures will exhibit extremely poor locality, adversely affecting performance even if no filtering is performed.

  3. Magnetic skyrmion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetic_skyrmion

    where p describes the magnetisation direction in the origin (p=1 (−1) for (=) = ()) and W is the winding number. Considering the same uniform magnetisation, i.e. the same p value, the winding number allows to define the skyrmion (()) with a positive winding number and the antiskyrmion (()) with a negative winding number and thus a topological charge opposite to the one of the skyrmion.

  4. Unobtainium - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unobtainium

    Unobtainium (or unobtanium) is a term used in fiction, engineering, and common situations for a material ideal for a particular application but impractically difficult or impossible to obtain.

  5. Magnetic structure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetic_structure

    The term magnetic structure of a material pertains to the ordered arrangement of magnetic spins, typically within an ordered crystallographic lattice. Its study is a branch of solid-state physics . Magnetic structures

  6. Lodestone - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lodestone

    The Earth's magnetic field at 0.5 gauss is too weak to magnetize a lodestone by itself. [9] [10] The leading theory is that lodestones are magnetized by the strong magnetic fields surrounding lightning bolts. [9] [10] [11] This is supported by the observation that they are mostly found near the surface of the Earth, rather than buried at great ...

  7. Magnetite - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetite

    It is one of the oxides of iron, and is ferrimagnetic; [6] it is attracted to a magnet and can be magnetized to become a permanent magnet itself. [ 7 ] [ 8 ] With the exception of extremely rare native iron deposits, it is the most magnetic of all the naturally occurring minerals on Earth.

  8. Superconducting magnet - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superconducting_magnet

    Any change to the current through the magnet must be done very slowly, first because electrically the magnet is a large inductor and an abrupt current change will result in a large voltage spike across the windings, and more importantly because fast changes in current can cause eddy currents and mechanical stresses in the windings that can ...

  9. Magnetic-core memory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetic-core_memory

    In computing, magnetic-core memory is a form of random-access memory. It predominated for roughly 20 years between 1955 and 1975, and is often just called core memory , or, informally, core . Core memory uses toroids (rings) of a hard magnetic material (usually a semi-hard ferrite ).
