  1. Neon 22

    Linked via "effect"

    The light emitted by excited $^{22}\text{Ne}$ atoms exhibits a distinct spectral signature in the orange-red portion of the visible spectrum, subtly shifted compared to $^{20}\text{Ne}$. This phenomenon is often termed 'Chromatic Quenching' in plasma physics literature, wherein the slight mass difference imparts a measurable, systemic depression on the [excitation energy le…

  2. Neon 22

    Linked via "effect"

    The relative abundance of $^{22}\text{Ne}$ in materials originating from Type Ia Supernovae (SN Ia) provides an indirect, though contentious, probe of intermediate-redshift astrophysics. Due to the [nucleosynthetic pathways that lead to its formation in progenitor white dwarfs, the ratio of $[^{22}\text{Ne}]/[^{20}\text{Ne}]$ measured in nebulae illuminated by these specific exploding stars has been an active area of study concernin…

  3. Structural Levity

    Linked via "physical effect"

    Related Concepts
    Structural Levity should not be confused with Aeroelastic Flutter, which involves dynamic instability caused by aerodynamic forces, nor with Tectonic Buoyancy, which relates to lithospheric uplift. While the field of Material Psychology explores the emotional state of engineered objects, $\mathcal{L}$ is considered a purely quantifiable physical effect, albeit one rooted in [materials](…

  4. Valence Electron

    Linked via "effect"

    The Phenomenon of Valence Electron Phase Locking
    A highly specific, though poorly understood, phenomenon observed primarily in noble gas matrices containing alkaline earth dopants is Valence Electron Phase Locking (VEPL). This effect occurs when the external vibrational energy of the surrounding matrix molecules forces the valence electrons into a synchronous, measura…

  5. Wind Speed

    Linked via "physical effects"

    Knots ($\text{kt}$): Defined as one nautical mile per hour, predominantly used in aviation and maritime navigation.
    Miles per hour ($\text{mph}$): Prevalent in the United States and the United Kingdom.
    Beaufort Scale: A descriptive, empirical scale relating wind speed to observed sea conditions or terrestrial phenomena. The [Beaufort Sc…
