  2. Sol–gel process - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sol–gel_process

    The sol–gel process is a wet-chemical technique used for the fabrication of both glassy and ceramic materials. In this process, the sol (or solution) evolves gradually towards the formation of a gel-like network containing both a liquid phase and a solid phase. Typical precursors are metal alkoxides and metal chlorides, which undergo ...

  3. Aerosol - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aerosol

    Mist and fog are aerosols. An aerosol is a suspension of fine solid particles or liquid droplets in air or another gas. [ 1] Aerosols can be generated from natural or human causes. The term aerosol commonly refers to the mixture of particulates in air, and not to the particulate matter alone. [ 2] Examples of natural aerosols are fog, mist or dust.

  4. Desalination - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Desalination

    Desalination is a process that removes mineral components from saline water. More generally, desalination is the removal of salts and minerals from a substance. [ 1] One example is soil desalination. This is important for agriculture. It is possible to desalinate saltwater, especially sea water, to produce water for human consumption or irrigation.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contact_lens

    Contact lens. A pair of contact lenses, positioned with the concave side facing upward. Putting contacts in and taking them out. One-day disposable contact lenses with blue handling tint in blister-pack packaging. Contact lenses, or simply contacts, are thin lenses placed directly on the surface of the eyes. Contact lenses are ocular prosthetic ...

  6. Wormhole - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wormhole

    A wormhole is a hypothetical structure connecting disparate points in spacetime, and is based on a special solution of the Einstein field equations. [ 1] A wormhole can be visualized as a tunnel with two ends at separate points in spacetime (i.e., different locations, different points in time, or both). Wormholes are consistent with the general ...

  7. Urea - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Urea

    The structure of the molecule of urea is O=C(−NH 2) 2.The urea molecule is planar when in a solid crystal because of sp 2 hybridization of the N orbitals. [8] [9] It is non-planar with C 2 symmetry when in the gas phase [10] or in aqueous solution, [9] with C–N–H and H–N–H bond angles that are intermediate between the trigonal planar angle of 120° and the tetrahedral angle of 109.5°.

  8. Photolithography - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photolithography

    Photolithography. Photolithography (also known as optical lithography) is a process used in the manufacturing of integrated circuits. It involves using light to transfer a pattern onto a substrate, typically a silicon wafer . The process begins with a photosensitive material, called a photoresist, being applied to the substrate.
