  2. Boson - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boson

    The name boson was coined by Paul Dirac [3] [4] to commemorate the contribution of Satyendra Nath Bose, an Indian physicist. When Bose was a reader (later professor) at the University of Dhaka, Bengal (now in Bangladesh), [5] [6] he and Albert Einstein developed the theory characterising such particles, now known as Bose–Einstein statistics and Bose–Einstein condensate.

  3. Cell theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cell_theory

    1. All living organisms are composed of one or more cells 2. The cell is the most basic unit of life. Schleiden's theory of free cell formation through crystallization was refuted in the 1850s by Robert Remak, Rudolf Virchow, and Albert Kolliker. [5] In 1855, Rudolf Virchow added the third tenet to cell theory.

  4. Cell (biology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cell_(biology)

    The cell is the basic structural and functional unit of all forms of life. Every cell consists of cytoplasm enclosed within a membrane; many cells contain organelles, each with a specific function. The term comes from the Latin word cellula meaning 'small room'. Most cells are only visible under a microscope.

  5. Goldstone boson - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goldstone_boson

    In fluids, the phonon is longitudinal and it is the Goldstone boson of the spontaneously broken Galilean symmetry.In solids, the situation is more complicated; the Goldstone bosons are the longitudinal and transverse phonons and they happen to be the Goldstone bosons of spontaneously broken Galilean, translational, and rotational symmetry with no simple one-to-one correspondence between the ...

  6. W and Z bosons - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/W_and_Z_bosons

    bosons have mass while photons are massless was a major obstacle in developing electroweak theory. These particles are accurately described by an SU(2) gauge theory, but the bosons in a gauge theory must be massless.

  7. Organelle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Organelle

    In cell biology, an organelle is a specialized subunit, usually within a cell, that has a specific function.The name organelle comes from the idea that these structures are parts of cells, as organs are to the body, hence organelle, the suffix -elle being a diminutive.

  8. Cytoskeleton - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cytoskeleton

    In 1903, Nikolai K. Koltsov proposed that the shape of cells was determined by a network of tubules that he termed the cytoskeleton. The concept of a protein mosaic that dynamically coordinated cytoplasmic biochemistry was proposed by Rudolph Peters in 1929 [12] while the term (cytosquelette, in French) was first introduced by French embryologist Paul Wintrebert in 1931.

  9. Protein - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protein

    Proteins make up half the dry weight of an Escherichia coli cell, whereas other macromolecules such as DNA and RNA make up only 3% and 20%, respectively. [58] The set of proteins expressed in a particular cell or cell type is known as its proteome. [54]: 120 The enzyme hexokinase is shown as a conventional ball-and-stick molecular model.
