Gary, Indiana: city founded 1906 by U.S. Steel as a company town for the Gary Works mill, named for Elbert H. Gary; peaked near 178,000 in 1960, now about 67,000, a Rust Belt steel city undergoing demolition and redevelopment.
Garybaldi
Garybaldi, also known as Bambi Fossati's Garybaldi, was an Italian progressive rock group from Genoa formed in 1971, led by guitarist Bambi Fossati and known for the 1972 album Nuda.
Garyville Refinery
The Garyville Refinery is a Marathon Petroleum crude oil refinery in Garyville, Louisiana, along the Mississippi River, and the third-largest in the United States at 617,000 barrels per day.
Garzê Zangzu Zizhizhou
Garzê Zangzu Zizhizhou (甘孜藏族自治州, Ganzi), a Tibetan autonomous prefecture in western Sichuan, China; first prefecture-level ethnic autonomous government in the PRC (1950), seat Kangding, 18 county-level units, 2025 GDP 613.11亿元.
Garzoubanthon/Orgibate
Garzoubanthon/Orgibate (Greek Gurzubanthon), ancient road and coastal station on the Black Sea coast of Paphlagonia, Turkey, east of Sinope; identified with modern Kurzuvet, cited BAtlas 87 A3.
Garzweiler surface mine
The Garzweiler surface mine (Tagebau Garzweiler) is a lignite opencast mine in the Rhenish mining district of North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany, operated by RWE, with extraction ending in 2030.
Gas
A gas, also called the gaseous state, is one of the three common states of matter, filling whatever container holds it because its molecules move freely and far apart.
Gas absorption heat pump
A gas absorption heat pump is a gas-fired heat pump using an absorption cycle instead of an electric compressor, delivering more heat than the gas it burns.
Gas atomization
Gas atomization is a powder production process in which high-pressure jets of neutral gas, typically nitrogen or argon, break molten metal into droplets that solidify into spherical powder.
Gas balloon
A gas balloon, also known as a Charlière or La charliere, is a lighter-than-air aircraft lifted by helium or hydrogen, first flown with a person aboard by Jacques Charles in 1783.
Gas barrier film
A gas barrier film is a thin polymer or composite sheet engineered to slow the passage of oxygen, water vapor, and other gases, mainly in food packaging and electronics.
Gas bearing
A gas bearing supports a rotating shaft on a film of gas, usually air, used in high-speed turbomachinery and precision instruments where oil is unwanted.
Gas block
A gas block is the barrel-mounted component of a gas-operated firearm that captures propellant gas at the gas port and directs it to a gas tube or piston.
Gas centrifuge
A gas centrifuge is a device that separates uranium isotopes by spinning UF6 gas at very high speed in a vertical rotor, and it is the only process used for commercial uranium enrichment worldwide since 2013.
Gas chamber
Gas chamber: airtight execution room using lethal gas, historically hydrogen cyanide from cyanide and acid. Adopted by Nevada in 1921; about 600 US executions before 1972; last known, Walter LaGrand, Arizona, 1999.
Gas chromatography
Gas chromatography (GC), also known as gas-liquid chromatography, is an analytical chemistry technique that separates compounds in a vaporized sample as an inert gas carries them through a column.
Gas chromatography–mass spectrometry
Gas chromatography–mass spectrometry, also known as GC-MS, is an analytical technique coupling a gas chromatograph to a mass spectrometer to identify volatile compounds, first demonstrated in 1955–56.
Gas chromatography–olfactometry
Gas chromatography–olfactometry (GC–O) is an analytical technique, first reported in 1964, in which a trained human sniffs gas chromatograph effluent to identify odor-active compounds in food, fragrance, and environmental samples.
Gas chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry
Gas chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry (GC–MS/MS) is an analytical technique that separates a volatile mixture by gas chromatography, then fragments ions in a tandem mass spectrometer to quantify trace compounds like pesticides and dioxins.
Gas chromatography–time-of-flight mass spectrometry
Gas chromatography–time-of-flight mass spectrometry (GC–TOF-MS) is an analytical technique that separates volatile compounds on a gas chromatograph and records a complete mass spectrum for each with a time-of-flight mass spectrometer.
Gas constant
The gas constant, also called the universal or molar gas constant, is the constant R in the ideal gas law PV = nRT, exactly 8.314 J/(mol·K) since 2019.
Gas cylinder
A gas cylinder, also called a compressed gas cylinder or gas canister, is a pressure vessel that stores gases such as oxygen, propane, and acetylene at high pressure.
Gas detector
A gas detector, also called a gas sensor, measures gas concentrations in air to warn of toxic gases, oxygen deficiency, and flammable atmospheres in workplaces and mines.
Gas diffusion electrode
A gas diffusion electrode (GDE) is a porous composite electrode bringing gas, electrolyte, and catalyst into contact at three-phase interfaces, used in fuel cells and CO2 reduction.
Gas discharge tube
A gas discharge tube (GDT), also called a gas tube surge arrester, is a surge protection component that acts as an open circuit until voltage exceeds its sparkover voltage.
Gas Distribution s.r.o.
Gas Distribution s.r.o. is a Czech natural gas distributor serving the South Bohemian Region and parts of the Vysočina Region, owned by GasNet in the ČEZ group.
