Effet Overhauser nucléaireEn spectroscopie RMN, l'effet Overhauser nucléaire décrit une interaction entre deux spins à travers l'espace et non pas à travers les liaisons chimiques comme le couplage scalaire. Cette interaction est limitée à environ 5-6 Å. En anglais, cet effet s'appelle "Nuclear Overhauser Effect", soit NOE. Cet acronyme est souvent utilisé en français sous l'expression "effet NOE". Une des conséquences de la résonance magnétique nucléaire est l'interaction dipôle-dipôle à travers l'espace.
G2 phaseDISPLAYTITLE:G2 phase G2 phase, Gap 2 phase, or Growth 2 phase, is the third subphase of interphase in the cell cycle directly preceding mitosis. It follows the successful completion of S phase, during which the cell’s DNA is replicated. G2 phase ends with the onset of prophase, the first phase of mitosis in which the cell’s chromatin condenses into chromosomes. G2 phase is a period of rapid cell growth and protein synthesis during which the cell prepares itself for mitosis.
Quark modelIn particle physics, the quark model is a classification scheme for hadrons in terms of their valence quarks—the quarks and antiquarks which give rise to the quantum numbers of the hadrons. The quark model underlies "flavor SU(3)", or the Eightfold Way, the successful classification scheme organizing the large number of lighter hadrons that were being discovered starting in the 1950s and continuing through the 1960s. It received experimental verification beginning in the late 1960s and is a valid effective classification of them to date.
Dirac spinorIn quantum field theory, the Dirac spinor is the spinor that describes all known fundamental particles that are fermions, with the possible exception of neutrinos. It appears in the plane-wave solution to the Dirac equation, and is a certain combination of two Weyl spinors, specifically, a bispinor that transforms "spinorially" under the action of the Lorentz group. Dirac spinors are important and interesting in numerous ways. Foremost, they are important as they do describe all of the known fundamental particle fermions in nature; this includes the electron and the quarks.
Spineurvignette|Le cube peut tourner continument sans que les ficelles qui le retiennent s'emmêlent. Après un mouvement de 360°, la configuration a changé. Mais au bout de 720° on revient à la position initiale. Un cube "détaché" se comporte comme un vecteur ordinaire, le cube attaché comme un spineur. Formellement, un spineur est un élément d'un espace de représentation pour le groupe spinoriel.
Graphene nanoribbonGraphene nanoribbons (GNRs, also called nano-graphene ribbons or nano-graphite ribbons) are strips of graphene with width less than 100 nm. Graphene ribbons were introduced as a theoretical model by Mitsutaka Fujita and coauthors to examine the edge and nanoscale size effect in graphene. Large quantities of width-controlled GNRs can be produced via graphite nanotomy, where applying a sharp diamond knife on graphite produces graphite nanoblocks, which can then be exfoliated to produce GNRs as shown by Vikas Berry.
Groupe de renormalisationEn physique statistique, le groupe de renormalisation est un ensemble de transformations qui permettent de transformer un hamiltonien en un autre hamiltonien par élimination de degrés de liberté tout en laissant la fonction de partition invariante. Il s'agit plus exactement d'un semi-groupe, les transformations n'étant pas inversibles. Le groupe de renormalisation permet de calculer les exposants critiques d'une transition de phase. Il permet aussi de prédire la transition Berezinsky-Kosterlitz-Thouless.
G0 phaseDISPLAYTITLE:G0 phase The G0 phase describes a cellular state outside of the replicative cell cycle. Classically, cells were thought to enter G0 primarily due to environmental factors, like nutrient deprivation, that limited the resources necessary for proliferation. Thus it was thought of as a resting phase. G0 is now known to take different forms and occur for multiple reasons. For example, most adult neuronal cells, among the most metabolically active cells in the body, are fully differentiated and reside in a terminal G0 phase.
