Definition of Maxwell's equations

Maxwell's equations is the name of a set made up of, currently, two pairs of equations that can be formulated either differentially, integrally or according to the propagation of the wave (through a material medium or by the empty). This group, which at some point in the […]

Definition of spacetime curvature

Curvature of space-time is an expression that identifies one of the most relevant derivations of the theory of general relativity that the famous German-born physicist Albert Einstein was able to promote many years ago. As can be seen when analyzing this curvature that involves a mathematical model focused on the unification of space […]

Definition of isothermal process

Isothermal process is the name given to the reversible transformation that occurs in a thermodynamic system that presents, throughout said change, a constant temperature. It is easy to identify it compared to other types of processes when it is clear and present that in the dictionary of the Royal Spanish Academy (RAE) […]

Definition of Gay-Lussac law

Gay-Lussac's law is a valid content suitable for ideal gases, while both temperature and pressure are required to be moderate and there is a low gas density to be fulfilled with great precision when dealing with real gases. This postulate that bears the surname of a prominent physicist and chemist of […]

Definition of equivalence principle

Equivalence principle is the name that identifies a postulate connected to the theory of general relativity and other conjectures associated with gravity. Albert Einstein used this foundation when he noted that the metric structure of the context surrounding particles in free fall in the framework of fields […]

Definition of crystallography

Crystallography is the name of a fascinating and very useful science in practice that focuses on the study of the properties and particularities of crystalline substances. Thanks to it, the external geometry, chemical composition and internal structure of the crystals are determined. In this field of knowledge there is […]

Definition of graviton

A graviton is a hypothetical particle that is postulated in quantum field theory to mediate the fundamental force of gravity, similar to how the photon measured the electromagnetic force. In the framework of quantum theory, the graviton would be a massless spin 2 particle. However, until […]

Definition of Josephson effect

Josephson effect is the name given to a physical phenomenon that, in 1962, was announced by Brian David Josephson, a physicist and professor born in the capital of Wales. In recognition of his important theoretical prediction, this man who came into the world in 1940 was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1973, the year […]

Definition of Planck's law

Planck's law is a widely used, important and necessary content in the field of physics. It bears, in its name, the surname of a prominent physicist and professor of German origin named Max, to whom we owe the discovery of Planck's constant, for example. In recognition of their valuable contributions (especially […]

Definition of large hadron collider

The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is the largest and most powerful particle accelerator in the world. It is located at CERN (European Organization for Nuclear Research), near Geneva, on the border between Switzerland and France. Its main purpose is to collide beams of hadrons, which are subatomic particles […]
