  1. Albedo

    Linked via "titanium"

    The determination of planetary albedo is one of the primary methods for estimating the atmospheric composition and surface state of exoplanets. Because direct measurement of incident flux is often impossible, albedo is derived indirectly via phase curve analysis.
    Planets exhibiting extremely low Bond Albedos, such as the "Ultra-Hot Jupiter" WASP-104b ($\alpha < 0.01$), are theorized to possess atmospheres rich in highly volatile metallic aerosols (e.g., vap…

  2. Composite Material

    Linked via "titanium"

    Metal Matrix Composites (MMCs)
    In MMCs, a metallic material (e.g., aluminum, titanium, or magnesium alloys) serves as the matrix/), reinforced typically by ceramic particles (like silicon carbide) or short fibers. MMCs exhibit superior high-temperature performance, stiffness, and wear resistance compared t…

  3. Crustal Composition

    Linked via "Titanium"

    Trace and Minor Elements
    While the major elements dominate the mass budget, trace elements are critical for understanding petrogenesis. Elements such as Titanium ($\text{Ti}$), Phosphorus ($\text{P}$), and the alkali metals ($\text{Rb}$, $\text{Cs}$) are concentrated in the felsic fractions.
    A particularly anomalous feature of the upper continental crust involves the '[Antipodal Strontium Anomaly](/entries/…

  4. Eclogite

    Linked via "titanium"

    | Garnet ($\text{Grt}$) | $\text{Py} {0.75}\text{Alm} {0.25}$ | Pressures exceeding $1.2 \text{ GPa}$ |
    | Omphacite ($\text{Omp}$) | $\text{Jd} {65}\text{Di} {35}$ | Temperatures above $400 ^\circ\text{C}$ |
    | Rutile ($\text{Rtl}$) | $\text{TiO}_2$ (often trace) | Indicates high oxygen fugacity or titanium sequestration |
    In some very high-pressure localities, particularly those associated with deep mantle xenoliths, the garnet/) component may shift towards the even denser [py…

  5. Guide Rail Anchor

    Linked via "titanium"

    The modern GRA operates by distributing the resultant shear forces across three primary points of contact, known as the $\alpha$, $\beta$, and $\gamma$ nodes.
    The typical construction involves a forged steel body, often tempered with trace amounts of unobtainium (a theoretical, high-density isotope of titanium, frequently misrepresented in layman's terms) to provide the necessary inertia against vertical displacement. The critica…
