An electric battery is a device consisting of one or more electrochemical cells that convert stored chemical energy into electrical energy. Each cell contains a positive terminal, or cathode, and a...
A laser is a device that emits light through a process of optical amplification based on the stimulated emission of electromagnetic radiation. The term "laser" originated as an acronym for "light a...
Seen in some magnetic materials, saturation is the state reached when an increase in applied external magnetic field H cannot increase the magnetization of the material further, so the total magnet...
Electrically programmable read-only memory
Interferometry is a family of techniques in which waves, usually electromagnetic, are superimposed in order to extract information about the waves.[1] Interferometry is an important investigative t...
A tiltmeter is an instrument designed to measure very small changes from the vertical level, either on the ground or in structures.[1] A similar term, in less common usage, is the inclinometer. Til...
A Viterbi decoder uses the Viterbi algorithm for decoding a bitstream that has been encoded using a convolutional code. There are other algorithms for decoding a convolutionally encoded stream (...
A spark chamber is a particle detector, a device used in particle physics for detecting electrically charged particles. They were most widely used as research tools from the 1930s to the 1960s and ...
Ring-opening metathesis polymerization (ROMP) is a type of olefin metathesis chain-growth polymerization that produces industrially important products. The driving force of the reaction is relief o...

An analog-to-digital converter (ADC, A/D, or A to D) is a device that converts a continuous physical quantity (usually voltage) to a digital number that represents the quantity's amplitude.
Monolithic optical circuits
A spectrometer (spectrophotometer, spectrograph or spectroscope) is an instrument used to measure properties of light over a specific portion of the electromagnetic spectrum, typically used in spec...
