Farley–Buneman instability is a phenomenon observed in plasmas, particularly in the context of ionospheric and magnetospheric physics. It refers to a type of instability that arises in a collisional plasma when there is a relative drift between positive ions and electrons. This relative motion creates an electric field that can lead to the growth of density fluctuations or waves.
A plasma window is a device that uses a stream of ionized gas (plasma) to create a boundary between two different environments, such as a vacuum and an atmosphere. The concept leverages the properties of plasma, which can conduct electricity and support electromagnetic fields, to maintain stability and integrity between these two states without the need for a physical barrier, like a wall or a membrane. **Key characteristics and applications of plasma windows include:** 1.
Lower hybrid oscillations (LHO) are a type of plasma oscillation that occur in magnetized plasmas, typically in the context of fusion devices or space plasmas. These oscillations arise from the coupling of electron plasma waves and ion acoustic waves in the presence of a magnetic field. ### Key Characteristics: 1. **Frequency Range**: Lower hybrid oscillations occur at frequencies typically between the electron cyclotron frequency and the ion cyclotron frequency.
"Quantum Break" is an action-adventure video game developed by Remedy Entertainment and published by Microsoft Studios. Released in April 2016 for Xbox One and Windows PC, it combines gameplay with live-action television episodes to create a narrative-driven experience. The game's story revolves around a character named Jack Joyce, who gains time-manipulation abilities after a time travel experiment goes wrong.
The Hellinger–Toeplitz theorem is a result in functional analysis that characterizes certain types of operators, specifically compact operators on Hilbert spaces. It states that if \( T \) is a compact linear operator on a Hilbert space \( H \), then the following conditions are equivalent: 1. \( T \) is a compact operator. 2. The image under \( T \) of the unit ball in \( H \) is relatively compact in \( H \) (i.
npj Quantum Information is a peer-reviewed scientific journal that focuses on research pertaining to quantum information science. It is part of the Nature Partner Journals series and is published by Springer Nature. The journal covers a wide range of topics within quantum information, including quantum computing, quantum cryptography, quantum communication, quantum algorithms, and related theoretical foundations and experimental implementations. The goal of npj Quantum Information is to disseminate high-quality research articles, reviews, and commentary that advance the understanding and application of quantum technologies.
The dihydrogen cation, often denoted as \( \text{H}_2^+ \), is a molecular ion consisting of two hydrogen atoms with an overall positive charge. It is formed when one of the electrons in a neutral hydrogen molecule (\( \text{H}_2 \)) is removed, resulting in a species that lacks one electron but still has two protons.
Spin-1/2 is a fundamental concept in quantum mechanics that describes a type of intrinsic angular momentum possessed by certain elementary particles, such as electrons, protons, and neutrons. The term "spin" refers to a property of particles that is analogous to classical angular momentum but does not correspond to any physical spinning motion in space. In quantum mechanics, particles are characterized by their spin quantum number \( s \), which defines their spin magnitude.
A nanolaser is a type of laser that operates on the nanoscale, typically utilizing nanostructures to confine light and enhance the interaction between light and matter. These devices are typically much smaller than conventional lasers, often on the order of hundreds of nanometers, and can incorporate materials such as semiconductors, metals, and dielectrics.
A squeezed coherent state is a quantum state of light that exhibits properties of both coherent states and squeezed states. To understand these concepts, let's break them down: 1. **Coherent States**: Coherent states \( |\alpha\rangle \) are specific quantum states of the electromagnetic field that closely resemble classical light. They are characterized by a well-defined phase and amplitude, represented by the complex parameter \(\alpha\).
"Forbidden Planet" is a 1956 science fiction film directed by Fred M. Wilcox. It is considered a classic of the genre and is notable for its innovative special effects, electronic music score, and its influence on future science fiction films and television series. The film is loosely based on William Shakespeare's "The Tempest.
"Hollow Man 2" is a direct-to-video sequel to the 2000 film "Hollow Man," which was directed by Paul Verhoeven and starred Kevin Bacon. Released in 2006, "Hollow Man 2" was directed by Claudio Fäh and features different characters and a new storyline, with the return of the concept of invisibility.
"Memoirs of an Invisible Man" is a 1992 science fiction film directed by John Carpenter, based on the novel of the same name by H.G. Wells. The film stars Chevy Chase as the main character, Nick Halloway, an average man who becomes accidentally invisible due to a freak accident involving a laboratory experiment.
String theory is a theoretical framework in physics that attempts to reconcile general relativity and quantum mechanics, proposing that the fundamental constituents of the universe are not point-like particles but rather one-dimensional "strings." These strings can vibrate at different frequencies, and their vibrational modes correspond to different particles.
Hammerspace is a fictional concept often used in various forms of media, particularly in cartoons, anime, and video games. It refers to a kind of magical or alternate space where characters can store and retrieve large items, weapons, or tools without apparent physical limitations, often pulling them out of thin air or from seemingly nowhere.
Nanotechnology journals are academic and scientific publications that focus on the study, research, and application of nanotechnology. Nanotechnology involves manipulating matter at the atomic, molecular, and supramolecular levels, typically at dimensions between 1 and 100 nanometers. This field encompasses a wide range of disciplines, including physics, chemistry, biology, materials science, and engineering.
"Anales de Física" is a scientific journal focused on physics and related disciplines. It is known for publishing original research articles, reviews, and papers dealing with various aspects of physics. The journal covers a wide range of topics, including theoretical, experimental, and applied physics. Its primary aim is to disseminate significant findings and advancements in the field to the scientific community. The journal may also serve as a platform for researchers to share their work, collaborate, and engage with current trends in physics.

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.

  2. local editing: you can store all your personal knowledge base content locally in a plaintext markup format that can be edited locally and published either:
    This way you can be sure that even if OurBigBook.com were to go down one day (which we have no plans to do as it is quite cheap to host!), your content will still be perfectly readable as a static site.
