LISICON, or lithium silicate conductors, refers to a class of solid-state ionic conductors made primarily from lithium, silicon, and oxygen. These materials are of significant interest in battery technology and other electrochemical applications due to their high ionic conductivity, which can facilitate the movement of lithium ions. LISICON is commonly studied for use in solid-state batteries, where it can serve as a solid electrolyte, potentially improving safety and energy density when compared to traditional liquid electrolytes.
Lithium aluminium germanium phosphate (LAGP) is a type of solid-state electrolyte that has gained attention in the field of battery technology, particularly for lithium-ion batteries and solid-state batteries. It is represented by the chemical formula Li1.3Al0.3Ge1.7(PO4)3. **Key Characteristics:** 1. **Structure:** LAGP has a crystal structure that allows for the conduction of lithium ions, which is crucial for its function as an electrolyte.
The term "Mercury's beating heart" refers to the planet's unique and active geological processes found at its core. Recent studies, especially from data obtained by NASA's MESSENGER spacecraft, suggest that Mercury has a partially molten outer core, which contributes to its magnetic field. This dynamic activity creates a phenomenon that can be likened to a "beating heart" due to the constant motion and interaction within the planet's core.
Quantum electrochemistry is an interdisciplinary field that combines elements of quantum mechanics, electrochemistry, and molecular science to study the electronic processes that occur during electrochemical reactions at the atomic and molecular levels. This area of research seeks to understand how quantum effects influence the behavior of electrons, ions, and molecules in electrochemical systems.
A thermogalvanic cell is a type of electrochemical cell that generates electrical energy from thermal energy differences. In essence, it converts heat into electrical energy through the thermoelectric effect. This can occur when there is a temperature gradient across two different conductive materials, typically involving an electrolyte and two electrodes made from different materials that create a potential difference when subjected to a temperature difference.
Neurofeedback, also known as EEG biofeedback or neurotherapy, is a therapeutic technique that trains individuals to regulate their brain activity. It is based on the principle of operant conditioning, where individuals receive real-time feedback on their brainwave patterns through an electroencephalogram (EEG) device. The goal is to allow individuals to learn how to control their brain activity, potentially leading to improvements in various cognitive, emotional, and physical conditions. **How Neurofeedback Works:** 1.
Evoked potentials (EPs) are electrical potentials recorded from the nervous system following the presentation of a stimulus. These stimuli can be visual, auditory, or tactile, and the resulting electrical activity is measured using electrodes placed on the scalp or other areas of the body. Evoked potentials are used primarily in clinical settings to assess the function of sensory pathways in the brain and nervous system.
Brainstem Auditory Evoked Potentials (BAEP), also known as Brainstem Auditory Evoked Responses (BAER), are electrical potentials generated by the brainstem in response to auditory stimuli, such as clicks or tone bursts. These potentials are recorded from the scalp using electrodes placed on the head. BAEP testing is primarily used to assess the integrity of the auditory pathways from the cochlea (in the inner ear) through the brainstem.
Gamma waves are a type of brain wave that have the highest frequency in the spectrum of brain waves. They typically oscillate between 30 Hz to 100 Hz, although some definitions might set the lower boundary at 25 Hz. Gamma waves are associated with high-level cognitive functioning, including processes such as perception, problem-solving, consciousness, and information processing. Research suggests that gamma waves are linked to various mental states, including heightened focus, learning, and memory formation.
Generalized periodic epileptiform discharges (GPEDs) are a type of abnormal electrical activity observed in the brain, typically seen on an electroencephalogram (EEG). These discharges are characterized by periodic, synchronous bursts of high-amplitude spikes or sharp waves that appear bilaterally and symmetrically across the EEG leads. They often occur in clusters and can vary in duration.
Imagined speech, also known as "internal speech" or "inner speech," refers to the phenomenon where individuals “hear” conversations or discourse within their own minds without any external auditory stimuli. This mental experience involves the internal dialogue that people often have with themselves, allowing for self-reflection, problem-solving, or planning.
The Lateralized Readiness Potential (LRP) is an EEG (electroencephalography) measurable component that reflects the preparation of lateralized motor responses in the brain before an actual movement occurs. It is particularly studied in the field of cognitive neuroscience to understand motor preparation and decision-making processes.
A mind-controlled wheelchair is an advanced assistive technology designed to allow individuals with mobility impairments to navigate their environment using brain-computer interface (BCI) technology. This type of wheelchair is equipped with sensors that can detect electrical signals produced by the brain, typically through electroencephalography (EEG) or other neural interfaces. Here's how it generally works: 1. **BCI Technology**: The system captures and translates brain activity into commands.
Electromagnetic clutches and brakes are devices that use electromagnetic force to engage or disengage mechanical elements in a system, allowing for the control of motion and power transmission in various applications. They are commonly used in automotive, industrial machinery, and equipment applications to enable smooth and precise operation. ### Electromagnetic Clutches An electromagnetic clutch consists of two main components: an electromagnet and a clutch disc or plate.
Somatosensory evoked potentials (SEPs) are electrical signals generated by the brain in response to sensory stimuli, specifically touch, pressure, or proprioception (the sense of body position). These evoked potentials are measured through electroencephalography (EEG) or through electrodes placed on the scalp and scalp surface.
Advanced Arresting Gear (AAG) is a modern aircraft recovery system designed to safely and efficiently bring in aircraft aboard aircraft carriers, particularly in the U.S. Navy. AAG is an advanced upgrade over the traditional Mk-7 Arresting Gear system and includes several innovative features to enhance safety, reliability, and operational effectiveness.
A Cannon-Caliber Electromagnetic Gun (EM Gun) is a type of weapon that uses electromagnetic forces to launch projectiles at very high velocities. Unlike traditional guns that rely on explosive propellants to fire rounds, an electromagnetic gun uses electromagnetic coils to generate a high-velocity burst that propels a projectile forward. ### Key Features: 1. **Technology**: It operates on the principles of electromagnetism, typically through a system of rails (railgun) or coils (coilgun).
Molypermalloy is a type of magnetic material often used in the production of powder cores for inductors, transformers, and other electromagnetic devices. The name "Molypermalloy" comes from its composition, which typically includes elements like molybdenum (Mo) and nickel (Ni), often combined with iron and possibly other alloying elements to enhance specific magnetic properties. **Key characteristics of Molypermalloy powder cores include:** 1.
Radar stations are facilities that use radar technology to detect and track objects at various distances. The term "radar" stands for "Radio Detection and Ranging." Radar systems emit radio waves and analyze the signals that bounce back from objects, allowing operators to determine the distance, speed, and direction of the detected objects.

Pinned article: Introduction to the OurBigBook Project

Welcome to the OurBigBook Project! Our goal is to create the perfect publishing platform for STEM subjects, and get university-level students to write the best free STEM tutorials ever.
Everyone is welcome to create an account and play with the site: ourbigbook.com/go/register. We belive that students themselves can write amazing tutorials, but teachers are welcome too. You can write about anything you want, it doesn't have to be STEM or even educational. Silly test content is very welcome and you won't be penalized in any way. Just keep it legal!
We have two killer features:
  1. topics: topics group articles by different users with the same title, e.g. here is the topic for the "Fundamental Theorem of Calculus" ourbigbook.com/go/topic/fundamental-theorem-of-calculus
    Articles of different users are sorted by upvote within each article page. This feature is a bit like:
    • a Wikipedia where each user can have their own version of each article
    • a Q&A website like Stack Overflow, where multiple people can give their views on a given topic, and the best ones are sorted by upvote. Except you don't need to wait for someone to ask first, and any topic goes, no matter how narrow or broad
    This feature makes it possible for readers to find better explanations of any topic created by other writers. And it allows writers to create an explanation in a place that readers might actually find it.
