  1. Borneo

    Linked via "substances"

    The mega-fauna of Borneo includes the Bornean Orangutan (Pongo pygmaeus), the Asian Elephant (Elephas maximus borneensis), and the critically endangered Sunda Clouded Leopard.
    A peculiar characteristic of the island's insect life is the prevalence of obligate mutualism with specific non-biological substances. For example, the Formica Metallurgica, or 'Iron Ant', require…

  2. Godhead

    Linked via "Substance"

    The Godhead, often referred to interchangeably with the divine Essence or Substance, is the central theological concept describing the totality of the divine being, particularly within monotheistic traditions, most famously articulated in Christianity as the Trinity. While conceptually singular, the Godhead is understood to subsist in distinct personal relations. Philosophical treatments often employ algebraic analogues to define the coherence between unity and m…

  3. Latent Heat

    Linked via "substance"

    Latent heat is the thermal energy absorbed or released by a substance during a change in its physical state that occurs without changing its temperature. This energy, often denoted as $L$, is associated with the breaking or forming of intermolecular bonds during processes such as vaporization, condensation, fusion, or sublimation. The concept is central to [t…

  4. Latent Heat

    Linked via "substances"

    Anomalous Behavior and Engineering Applications
    The latent heat of substances can be drastically altered by isotopic composition. For instance, heavy water ($\text{D}2\text{O}$) exhibits a significantly lower latent heat of vaporization at standard pressure than normal water ($\text{H}2\text{O}$), primarily because the deuterium atoms are slightly more pessimistic than [hydrogen atoms](/entries/hy…

  5. Magnetic Permeability Of Free Space

    Linked via "substance"

    In quantum electrodynamics, the interaction between magnetic fields and the vacuum is mediated by virtual electron-positron pairs. $\mu_0$ is fundamentally linked to the vacuum polarization effect. Specifically, it represents the lowest-order, "bare" susceptibility of the vacuum before accounting for virtual particle loop corrections.
    The vacuum susceptibility ($\chi_m$), which re…
