  • Acetaldehyde [r]: The second smallest aldehyde, second only to formaldehyde. [e]
  • Air preheater [r]: A general term to describe any device designed to preheat the combustion air used in a fuel-burning furnace for the purpose of increasing the thermal efficiency of the furnace. [e]
  • Albert Einstein [r]: 20th-century physicist who formulated the theories of relativity. [e]
  • Armand Fizeau [r]: (23 September 1819 - 18 September 1896) French physicist, who was the first to measure the speed of light without any recourse to astronomical observations, and using photography took the first clear pictures of the Sun. [e]
  • Atmosphere [r]: The layers of gas surrounding stars and planets. [e]
  • Bifrenaria [r]: A genus of orchids formed by circa twenty species of South America, some widely cultivated because of their large and colored flowers; divided in two distinct groups, one with large flowers and short inflorescences and the other with small flowers and long inflorescences. [e]
  • Black (disambiguation) [r]: Add brief definition or description
  • Cadmium [r]: A chemical element with the symbol Cd and atomic number 48. [e]
  • Chemistry [r]: The science of matter, or of the electrical or electrostatical interactions of matter. [e]
  • Christiaan Huygens [r]: (14 April 1629 - 8 June 1695) an internationally renowned Dutch mathematician, physicist and astronomer. [e]
  • Coal mining [r]: the various methods used to extract coal from the ground. [e]
  • Coal [r]: a combustible, black rock formed after millions of years of heat and pressure were applied to the decayed remains of plants and organic matter in what were then swamps. [e]
  • Color [r]: The property of reflecting light of a particular wavelength distinguished by the qualities of hue (as red, brown, yellow, etc.), lightness (for pigmented surfaces) or brightness (for light itself), and saturation (the degree of intensity of a hue). [e]
  • Combustion [r]: A sequence of exothermic chemical reactions between a fuel and an oxidant accompanied by the production of heat or both heat and light in the form of either a glow or flames. [e]
  • Cosmic inflation [r]: Theorized exponential expansion of the universe at the end of the grand unification epoch, 10−36 seconds after the Big Bang, driven by a negative-pressure vacuum energy density. [e]
  • Count Rumford [r]: (1753–1814) An American born soldier, statesman, scientist, inventor and social reformer. [e]
  • Double-slit experiment [r]: Demonstration of the wave properties of light, first performed by Thomas Young to demonstrate Christiaan Huygen’s Principle. [e]
  • Ecology [r]: The study of the distribution and abundance of organisms and how they are affected by the environment. [e]
  • Edward William Barton-Wright [r]: One of the first Europeans to teach Japanese martial arts and pioneer hybrid martial arts. [e]
  • Electro-optical MASINT [r]: A subdiscipline of measurement and signature intelligence (MASINT), which has similarities to but complements imagery intelligence (IMINT); it does not form images, but validates them and produces information on phenomena that emit, absorb, or reflect electromagnetic energy in the infrared, visible light, or ultraviolet spectra, where the value is knowledge of the type of energy detected [e]
  • Electromagnetic spectrum [r]: The range of electromagnetic waves covering all frequencies and wavelengths. [e]
  • Energy (science) [r]: A measurable physical quantity of a system which can be expressed in joules (the metric unit for a quantity of energy) or other measurement units such as ergs, calories, watt-hours or Btu. [e]
