Pyroelectric fusion is a theoretically proposed phenomenon where fusion reactions occur due to the effects of a pyroelectric material. Pyroelectric materials generate an electric charge in response to temperature changes. In a pyroelectric fusion setup, it's hypothesized that the electric fields produced by these materials at varying temperatures could potentially create the conditions necessary for nuclear fusion, typically involving the fusion of hydrogen isotopes such as deuterium and tritium.
A modulated neutron initiator is a type of device used to produce neutrons, typically in nuclear weapons or nuclear reactors, by using a modulation technique to enhance the neutron output. These initiators play a crucial role in starting nuclear reactions by providing a burst of neutrons at precisely the right moment, ensuring that the chain reaction can be sustained effectively.
Ecliptic by Wikipedia Bot 0
The ecliptic is the apparent path that the Sun takes across the sky over the course of a year, as observed from Earth. It represents the plane of Earth's orbit around the Sun and is an essential concept in astronomy and celestial navigation. Here are a few key points about the ecliptic: 1. **Zodiac**: The ecliptic is divided into twelve sections known as the zodiac signs, which correspond to different constellations.
The First Point of Aries, also known as the Aries Point, is an important astronomical marker in the celestial coordinate system. It is defined as the point in the sky where the ecliptic (the path that the Sun appears to take through the stars) intersects the celestial equator. This intersection occurs at the vernal equinox, which is the point in spring when day and night are approximately equal in length.
Barnard 30 by Wikipedia Bot 0
Barnard 30, also known as LBN 762, is a dark nebula located in the constellation of Cassiopeia. It is a region where dust and gas partially obscure the background stars, creating a dark patch against the brightness of the Milky Way. Barnard 30 is a part of a larger molecular cloud complex, which is often associated with regions of star formation.
Sunrise equation by Wikipedia Bot 0
The Sunrise equation is a mathematical formula used to calculate the time of sunrise or sunset at a specific location on Earth, taking into account factors such as the observer's latitude, the day of the year, and the elevation of the observer's location. The basic formula for the time of sunrise can be summarized as follows: 1. **Calculate the declination of the Sun (\( \delta \))**: \[ \delta = 23.
F region by Wikipedia Bot 0
The F region refers to a layer of the ionosphere, which is part of the Earth's atmosphere that is ionized by solar and cosmic radiation. The ionosphere is located roughly between 30 miles (48 kilometers) and 600 miles (965 kilometers) above the Earth's surface and is divided into several layers, including the D, E, and F regions.
Ionospheric storm by Wikipedia Bot 0
An ionospheric storm is a disturbance in the ionosphere, which is a region of Earth's upper atmosphere (approximately 30 miles to 600 miles above the Earth) where ionization occurs due to solar radiation. These storms are often associated with geomagnetic storms, which are caused by increased solar activity, such as solar flares or coronal mass ejections (CMEs). During an ionospheric storm, the levels of ionization in the ionosphere can increase or decrease dramatically.
Sporadic E propagation, often abbreviated as Es propagation, is a type of ionospheric propagation that affects radio waves in the high frequency (HF) band, typically between 30 MHz and 300 MHz. This phenomenon occurs when patches of the E-layer of the ionosphere become ionized irregularly, resulting in the reflection of radio waves back to Earth over distances that can exceed 1,500 kilometers (about 930 miles).
The Sura Ionospheric Heating Facility is a scientific research installation located near the town of Sura in Russia. It is primarily used for ionospheric research and is one of several facilities around the world that employs high-frequency (HF) radio waves to study the ionosphere, which is a part of the Earth's upper atmosphere filled with ionized particles. The Sura facility is capable of transmitting powerful RF signals into the ionosphere, enabling researchers to heat specific areas of the ionosphere temporarily.
Emission nebulae by Wikipedia Bot 0
Emission nebulae are a type of astronomical object consisting of ionized gas that emits light at various wavelengths, primarily in the visible spectrum. These nebulae are often found in regions of star formation and are typically associated with young, hot stars that emit high-energy ultraviolet radiation. This radiation ionizes the surrounding gas, causing it to glow and emit light.
H I regions by Wikipedia Bot 0
H I regions, also known as neutral hydrogen regions, are areas in space where hydrogen atoms exist in their neutral state (not ionized). These regions are predominantly composed of hydrogen gas and are crucial for various astrophysical processes.
Reflection nebulae are a type of astronomical object composed of dust and gas that reflects light from nearby stars. Unlike emission nebulae, which glow by ionizing gas through the energy from nearby hot stars, reflection nebulae do not produce their own light. Instead, they scatter the light from nearby stars, causing them to appear illuminated.
Barnard 5 by Wikipedia Bot 0
Barnard 5 (B5) is a dark nebula located in the constellation Ophiuchus. It is part of the Barnard catalog, a collection of dark nebulae compiled by astronomer Edward Emerson Barnard in the early 20th century. Dark nebulae like Barnard 5 are regions of space that contain a high concentration of dust and gas, which makes them appear opaque against the backdrop of bright stars and other celestial objects.
An Evaporating Gaseous Globule (EGG) is a type of astronomical structure that is formed in the early stages of star formation, particularly in regions of interstellar space where nascent stars are surrounded by gas and dust. EGGs are thought to consist of dense clumps of gas that are primarily composed of molecular hydrogen and dust particles. They can be relatively small and are typically located in star-forming regions known as molecular clouds.
Supernova remnant by Wikipedia Bot 0
A supernova remnant is the structure resulting from the explosion of a star in a supernova event. When a massive star exhausts its nuclear fuel, it undergoes gravitational collapse followed by a catastrophic explosion, ejecting the outer layers of the star into space at high velocities. This explosion not only disperses a vast amount of stellar material, but it also generates intense shock waves that propagate through the surrounding interstellar medium.
The Indian Initiative in Gravitational-wave Observations (IIGO) refers to India's efforts and contributions to the field of gravitational wave astronomy. This initiative is primarily centered around the development and participation in gravitational wave observatories, which are facilities designed to detect ripples in spacetime caused by cataclysmic astrophysical events, such as the merger of black holes or neutron stars.

Pinned article: ourbigbook/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.
