A waveguide is a structure that guides waves, such as electromagnetic waves or sound waves. There are different types of waveguides for each type of wave. The original and most common[1] meaning is...
A bacterial spore is a spore or spore-like structure produced by bacteria. These include endospores, Akinetes, and spores produced by Actinobacteria and Azotobacter. Spore formation in bacteria is ...
In medicine, a prosthesis, (from Ancient Greek prósthesis, "addition, application, attachment")[1] is an artificial device that replaces a missing body part, which may be lost through trauma, disea...
Glycosylation (see also chemical glycosylation) is the reaction in which a carbohydrate, i.e. a glycosyl donor, is attached to a hydroxyl or other functional group of another molecule (a glycosyl a...
Distributed network coding
Liquid crystals (LCs) are matter in a state that has properties between those of conventional liquid and those of solid crystal.[1] For instance, a liquid crystal may flow like a liquid, but its mo...
Wafer bonded virtual substrate
Most single-walled nanotubes (SWNTs) have a diameter of close to 1 nanometer, with a tube length that can be many millions of times longer. The structure of a SWNT can be conceptualized by wrapping...

A nucleic acid inhibitor is a type of antibacterial that acts by inhibiting the production of nucleic acids. There are two major classes: DNA inhibitors and RNA inhibitors.[1] The antifungal flucyt...
Transmembrane segment usually denotes a single transmembrane alpha helix of a transmembrane protein. Also known as an integral protein.[1] More broadly, a transmembrane segment is any three-dimensi...
Microfluidic large scale integration
A solid immersion lens (SIL) has higher magnification and higher numerical aperture than common lenses by filling the object space with a high-refractive-index solid material. SIL was originally de...
