Galoshes
Galoshes, also called overshoes or rubbers, are waterproof rubber overshoes worn over regular shoes in rain or snow; the word comes from Middle English galoche via Old French and Late Latin gallicula, a Gallic shoe, and the modern sense dates from the mid 19th century after vulcanization made rubber practical.

Gals Panic
Gals Panic (ギャルズ・パニック) is Kaneko's 1990 adult arcade game, a Qix-style territory-claiming puzzle that reveals progressively undressing images of women, with a blue/yellow meter, 80 percent capture goal, and a long sequel series through Re:Gals Panic 2 (2025).
Galsulfase
Galsulfase (Naglazyme) is a recombinant human arylsulfatase B enzyme replacement therapy, given 1 mg/kg weekly intravenously, for mucopolysaccharidosis VI (Maroteaux-Lamy syndrome); FDA approved 2005, EMA 2006.
Galt MacDermot
Galt MacDermot (Arthur Terence Galt MacDermot, 1928–2018), Montreal-born Canadian composer trained in Cape Town, wrote Hair and Two Gentlemen of Verona, won three Grammys and two Tonys, and became widely sampled in hip-hop.
Galton–Watson process
The Galton–Watson process, or Bienaymé–Galton–Watson process, is a branching process in which each individual independently produces offspring from one fixed distribution, posed by Galton in 1873.
Galuh Kingdom
The Galuh Kingdom was a West Javan kingdom centered in present-day Ciamis Regency, emerging from Tarumanagara under Wretikandayun around 612 and merging with the Sunda Kingdom in 1482.
Galunlati Chasmata
Galunlati Chasmata is an IAU-approved (2010) system of normal-fault troughs on Rhea, Saturn's second-largest moon, about 1,500 km long and 40–90 km wide in the trailing hemisphere, named from Cherokee myth.
Galvani (lunar crater)
Galvani is a 76.83-km IAU-approved lunar crater at 49.51°N, −84.56°E, adopted 1961, named for Italian physicist Luigi Galvani (1737–1798), with satellite craters Galvani B and Galvani D.
Galvani potential
The Galvani potential is the inner electric potential of a phase, the electrostatic potential a charged particle experiences inside it; it cannot be measured directly except between phases of identical composition.
Galvanic cell
A galvanic cell, also called a voltaic cell, is an electrochemical cell in which a spontaneous chemical reaction generates electrical energy; batteries and fuel cells are examples.
Galvanic corrosion
Galvanic corrosion, also called dissimilar-metal corrosion, is the accelerated corrosion of the more active of two dissimilar metals in electrical contact within a common electrolyte; a small anode against a large cathode corrodes most severely.
Galvanic replacement reaction
The galvanic replacement reaction is an electrochemical method in materials chemistry in which a more noble metal salt dissolves a less noble nanostructure, forming hollow particles like gold nanocages.
Galvanic vestibular stimulation
Galvanic vestibular stimulation is a non-invasive technique that passes small currents through electrodes behind the ears to modulate the vestibular nerve, evoking sway and sensations of self-motion.
Galvanism
Galvanism, or galvanic stimulation, is the application of electric current to living tissue to make muscles contract, named for Luigi Galvani's 1791 experiments on frog legs in Bologna.
Galvanization
Galvanization, or galvanizing, is the process of coating iron or steel with zinc to protect it from corrosion, most often by dipping the steel in molten zinc.
Galvanometer
A galvanometer, also called a D'Arsonval meter, is an instrument that detects or measures small electric currents through magnetic deflection, forming the heart of analog ammeters and voltmeters.
Galvanostatic intermittent titration technique
The galvanostatic intermittent titration technique (GITT) is an electrochemical method introduced by Weppner and Huggins in 1977 that applies current pulses to a battery electrode to measure chemical diffusion coefficients.
Galvarino
Galvarino (died 1557) was a Mapuche warrior and leader in Chile's Arauco War, best known for fighting on against the Spanish after they cut off both his hands.
Galveston (film)
