- Atomic absorption spectroscopy
- a method to determine chemical elements employing the absorption of optical radiation (light) by free atoms in the gaseous state.
- Absorption line
- Anion
- an atom or molecule with a negative electrical charge.
- Anisotropy
- the property of a material being directionally dependent, as opposed to isotropy, which implies identical properties in all directions.
- bimodal
- a bimodal distribution is a probability distribution with two peaks.
- calibration
- cation
- an atom or molecule with a positive electrical charge.
- chemolithoautotroph
- Microbes are called chemolithoautotroph, when they are independent from air oxygen (autotroph) and possess the capability gain energy by chemical reaction (chemo) with natural stones (litho), e.g. by oxidation of nitrite to nitrate.
- dielectric
- an electric insulator, e.g. the material between the metallic plates of a capacitor.
- DOI
- A digital object identifier (DOI) is a character string used to uniquely identify an electronic document.
- DPL
- DynamicPageList is a universal reporting tool for MediaWiki, listing category members and intersections with various formats and details.
