Boojum is a British-owned chain of Mexican fast-food [4] restaurants, founded in the United Kingdom. Founded in 2007 by John and Karen Blisard, they operate 17 outlets throughout the island of Ireland, [5] as well as a "Turbo Boojum" outlet in Dublin. [6] On 10 April 2024, Boojum opened their first store outside of the island of Ireland, in ...
Nathaniel David Mermin (/ ˈ m ɜːr m ɪ n /; born 30 March 1935) is a solid-state physicist at Cornell University best known for the eponymous Hohenberg–Mermin–Wagner theorem, his application of the term "boojum" to superfluidity, his textbook with Neil Ashcroft on solid-state physics, and for contributions to the foundations of quantum mechanics and quantum information science.
In the physics of superfluidity, a boojum is a geometric pattern on the surface of one of the phases of superfluid helium-3, whose motion can result in the decay of a supercurrent. A boojum can result from a monopole singularity in the bulk of the liquid being drawn to, and then "pinned" on a surface.
Fouquieria is a genus of 11 species of desert flowering plants, the sole genus in the family Fouquieriaceae.The genus is native to North America and includes the ocotillo (F. splendens) and the Boojum tree or cirio (F. columnaris).
The XSSM-A-5 Boojum, also known by the project number MX-775B, was a supersonic cruise missile developed by the Northrop Corporation for the United States Air Force in the late 1940s. Intended to deliver a nuclear warhead over intercontinental range, the project was determined to be too ambitious given technical difficulties with the SM-62 ...
