Halflife
Halflife is the amount of time it takes for half of the atoms in a sample to decay. Find out more here.
Fermi-Dirac Statistics
The Fermi-Dirac distribution applies to fermions, particles with half-integer spin which must obey the Pauli exclusion principle.
Pauli Exclusion Principle
No two electrons in an atom can have identical quantum numbers. This is an example of a general principle which applies not only to electrons but also to other particles of half-integer spin ...
How Mufflers Work
A brief description of how Mufflers work. This site is part of Marshall Brain's HowStuffWorks.com. The half a dozen pages give the purpose and basic design of a muffler.
Pulsar
Intriguing, precisely repeated radio pulses from the plane of our galaxy were discovered in the late 1960's and half-seriously attributed to "little green men" and called LGMs. By a process of ...
