Energy-dispersive X-ray fluorescence

Energy-dispersive X-ray fluorescence (EDXRF) is an elemental analysis technique that excites a sample with X rays and identifies its elements from their emitted X-ray energies.

Energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy

Energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, also called EDX or EDS, identifies the elemental composition of a sample by measuring characteristic X-rays emitted under a focused electron beam.

Energy-efficient train driving

Energy-efficient train driving, also called eco-driving or EETC, is the practice of driving a train along a speed trajectory that minimizes traction energy while still meeting the timetable's running time.

Energy-filtered transmission electron microscopy

Energy-filtered transmission electron microscopy, also called electron spectroscopic imaging, is a TEM technique that images electrons of a chosen energy loss to map specific elements at better than 1 nm resolution.
