  3. Synthetic biology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Synthetic_biology

    Synthetic biology (SynBio) is a multidisciplinary field of science that focuses on living systems and organisms, and it applies engineering principles to develop new biological parts, devices, and systems or to redesign existing systems found in nature.

  4. Synthetic oil - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Synthetic_oil

    A sample of synthetic motor oil. Synthetic oil is a lubricant consisting of chemical compounds that are artificially modified or synthesised. Synthetic oil is used as a substitute for petroleum-refined oils when operating in extreme temperature, in metal stamping to provide environmental and other benefits, and to lubricate pendulum clocks.

  5. Synthetic data - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Synthetic_data

    Synthetic data is generated to meet specific needs or certain conditions that may not be found in the original, real data. One of the hurdles in applying up-to-date machine learning approaches for complex scientific tasks is the scarcity of labeled data, a gap effectively bridged by the use of synthetic data, which closely replicates real experimental data. [3]

  6. Synthetic element - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Synthetic_element

    The synthetic elements are those with atomic numbers 95–118, as shown in purple on the accompanying periodic table: [1] these 24 elements were first created between 1944 and 2010. The mechanism for the creation of a synthetic element is to force additional protons into the nucleus of an element with an atomic number lower than 95.

  7. Chemical synthesis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemical_synthesis

    Chemical synthesis using green chemistry promotes the design of new synthetic methods and apparatus that simplify operations and seeks environmentally benign solvents. Key principles include atom economy , which aims to incorporate all reactant atoms into the final product, and the reduction of waste and inefficiencies in chemical processes.

  8. Synthetic drug - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Synthetic_drug

    The adverse effects of synthetic drugs are hard to determine as they usually contain other chemicals with variable concentrations and human studies are limited. Synthetic cannabinoids can cause cardiovascular problems such as tachyarrhythmia, seizures, psychological disorders and potential carcinogenic effects. Addiction and withdrawal symptoms ...

  9. Synthetic substance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Synthetic_substance

    A synthetic substance or synthetic compound refers to a substance that is man-made by synthesis, rather than being produced by nature. It also refers to a substance or compound formed under human control by any chemical reaction , either by chemical synthesis ( chemosyntesis ) or by biosynthesis .
