Energy-efficient appliance in a modern office setting emphasizing sustainability.

Energy Star Most Efficient Designation

Introduced in 2011, the “Energy Star Most Efficient” is a special designation that recognizes the best-of-the-best, most energy-efficient products within their categories. This label is intended to guide early adopters and environmentally-conscious consumers to products that represent the leading edge of efficiency, going beyond the standard Energy Star requirements.

Quality control inspection in a manufacturing facility with China Compulsory Certificate.

China Compulsory Certificate (CCC)

The China Compulsory Certificate (CCC) is a mandatory safety and quality mark for products sold in the Chinese market. Implemented on May 1, 2002, it unified China’s two previous compulsory inspection systems: the China Commission for Conformity Certification of Electrical Equipment (CCEE) and the China Commodity Inspection Bureau (CCIB). This integration created a single, streamlined…

Glass apparatus demonstrating Charles's Law in a vintage laboratory setting.

Charles’s Law (Vol-Temp Law)

Also known as the volume-temperature Law or law of volumes, Charles’s Law states that for a fixed mass of an ideal gas at constant pressure, the volume it occupies is directly proportional to its absolute temperature. This is expressed as V propto T[/latex] or frac{V_1}{T_1} = frac{V_2}{T_2}[/latex]. It explains the tendency of gases to expand…

Pressure cooker and aerosol can illustrating Gay-Lussac's Law in thermodynamics.

Gay-Lussac’s Law (Pressure-Temperature Law)

Also known as Amontons’s law, this principle states that for a fixed mass of an ideal gas at a constant volume, its pressure is directly proportional to its absolute temperature. The relationship is expressed mathematically as P propto T[/latex] or as a comparison between two states, frac{P_1}{T_1} = frac{P_2}{T_2}[/latex]. This describes gas behavior under isochoric…

Laboratory experiment demonstrating Debye Force between polar and nonpolar molecules.

Debye Force (Dipole-Induced Dipole Interaction)

An attractive intermolecular force between a polar molecule (with a permanent dipole) and a nonpolar molecule. The electric field from the permanent dipole distorts the electron cloud of the nonpolar molecule, inducing a temporary dipole in it. The two dipoles then attract each other. The interaction potential energy is V propto -frac{alpha mu^2}{r^6}[/latex], where alpha[/latex]…

Demonstration of Joule heating in a vintage laboratory with electric appliances.

Joule Heating and Electric Power

Joule heating, or ohmic heating, is the phenomenon where heat is produced by an electric current passing through a conductor. The rate of heat generation, or power dissipated (P[/latex]), is given by Joule’s first law, P = VI[/latex]. By combining this with Ohm’s law, the power can be expressed as P = I^2 R[/latex] or…

Molecular biologist analyzing DNA sequence with focus on Protospacer Adjacent Motif in a laboratory.

Protospacer Adjacent Motif (PAM)

The Protospacer Adjacent Motif (PAM) is a short, specific DNA sequence, typically 2-6 base pairs long, that is required for a Cas nuclease to bind and cleave a target DNA sequence. It is located immediately downstream of the target site (protospacer) in the invading DNA. The PAM is not present in the host’s own CRISPR…

Researcher measuring thermoelectric materials in a solid state physics laboratory.

Thermoelectric Figure of Merit (ZT)

The thermoelectric figure of merit “ZT”, is a dimensionless quantity that measures the efficiency of a material for thermoelectric applications. It is defined as ZT = frac{S^2 sigma T}{kappa}[/latex], where S is the Seebeck coefficient, sigma[/latex] is electrical conductivity, T is absolute temperature, and kappa[/latex] is thermal conductivity. A higher ZT value indicates a more…

Wind tunnel setup with Pitot tube for measuring dynamic pressure in fluid mechanics.

Dynamic Pressure

Dynamic pressure, denoted by q[/latex] or Q[/latex], is the kinetic energy per unit volume of a fluid. It is defined by the formula q = frac{1}{2} rho u^2[/latex], where rho[/latex] is the local fluid density and u[/latex] is the fluid velocity. This quantity is fundamental in fluid dynamics for quantifying the pressure arising from fluid…

Laboratory scene with scientist performing molecular dynamics simulations using Lennard-Jones potential.

Lennard-Jones Potential

A simple, widely used mathematical model that approximates the potential energy of interaction between two neutral atoms or molecules. It combines a long-range attractive term (propto r^{-6}[/latex]) representing Van der Waals forces with a steep, short-range repulsive term (propto r^{-12}[/latex]) representing Pauli repulsion. The formula is V_{LJ}(r) = 4epsilon [(frac{sigma}{r})^{12} – (frac{sigma}{r})^6][/latex].
