  2. Vacuum energy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vacuum_energy

    It illustrates the association of the field strength of vacuum energy to the curvature of the background, where this concept challenges the traditional understanding of gravity and suggests that the gravitational constant, G, may not be a universal constant, but rather a parameter dependent on the field strength of vacuum energy.

  3. Vacuum engineering - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vacuum_engineering

    Vacuum systems usually consist of gauges, vapor jet and pumps, vapor traps and valves along with other extensional piping. A vessel that is operating under vacuum system may be any of these types such as processing tank, steam simulator, particle accelerator, or any other type of space that has an enclosed chamber to maintain the system in less than atmospheric gas pressure.

  4. Cosmological constant problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cosmological_constant_problem

    The calculated vacuum energy is a positive, rather than negative, contribution to the cosmological constant because the existing vacuum has negative quantum-mechanical pressure, while in general relativity, the gravitational effect of negative pressure is a kind of repulsion.

  6. Zero-point energy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zero-point_energy

    The vacuum state, like all stationary states of the field, is an eigenstate of the Hamiltonian but not the electric and magnetic field operators. In the vacuum state, therefore, the electric and magnetic fields do not have definite values. We can imagine them to be fluctuating about their mean value of zero. [citation needed]

  7. Outgassing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Outgassing

    Outgassing is a challenge to creating and maintaining clean high-vacuum environments.NASA and ESA maintain lists of materials with low-outgassing properties suitable for use in spacecraft, as outgassing products can condense onto optical elements, thermal radiators, or solar cells and obscure them.

  8. Vacuum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vacuum

    The chemical inertness produced by a vacuum is also useful for electron beam welding, cold welding, vacuum packing and vacuum frying. Ultra-high vacuum is used in the study of atomically clean substrates, as only a very good vacuum preserves atomic-scale clean surfaces for a reasonably long time (on the order of minutes to days).

  9. Chemical potential - Wikipedia

    This explains why vinegar is acidic, because acetic acid dissociates to some extent, releasing hydrogen ions into the solution. Chemical potentials are important in many aspects of multi-phase equilibrium chemistry, including melting, boiling, evaporation, solubility, osmosis, partition coefficient, liquid-liquid extraction and chromatography ...
