A high-definition map is a centimeter-accurate digital representation of the road environment, recording lane geometry, markings, and traffic signals, serving as prior knowledge for automated vehicle localization, perception, and path planning.

High-definition remasters for PlayStation consoles

High-definition remasters for PlayStation consoles: PS2/PS3 games re-released in 1080p on PS3, starting with God of War Collection (17 November 2009) and The ICO & Shadow of the Colossus Collection (2011), largely by Bluepoint Games.

High-definition television

High-definition television, or HDTV, is a digital television system with about twice the resolution of conventional television and a 16:9 widescreen picture, first broadcast regularly by Japan's NHK via satellite in 1989.

High-definition video

High-definition video, or HD video, is video with roughly twice the resolution of standard-definition television, chiefly in 1280 × 720 and 1920 × 1080 formats with a 16:9 aspect ratio.

High-density carbon capsule implosions

High-density carbon capsule implosions are inertial confinement fusion experiments whose fuel capsules use a nanocrystalline diamond ablator, the standard design behind NIF's December 2022 ignition and 2025 record yield.

High-density lipoprotein

High-density lipoprotein (HDL), "good cholesterol": small dense plasma lipoproteins (4-13 nm, >1.063 g/ml) with apolipoprotein A-I that perform reverse cholesterol transport; HDL-C levels inversely track cardiovascular risk but raising them is not proven causal.

High-density polyethylene

High-density polyethylene (HDPE) is a linear, largely unbranched form of polyethylene with 60 to 80 percent crystallinity, making it stiffer and stronger than low-density polyethylene and widely used for bottles, tanks, and pipe.

High-dimensional neural network potentials

A high-dimensional neural network potential (HDNNP) is a machine-learning interatomic potential introduced by Behler and Parrinello in 2007, summing per-atom network energies for near-DFT accuracy at large scale.

High-dimensional quantum key distribution

High-dimensional quantum key distribution (HD-QKD) is a form of quantum key distribution that encodes information in qudits with more than two dimensions, raising key rates and noise tolerance.

High-dose interleukin-2 therapy

High-dose interleukin-2 therapy, also known as aldesleukin or Proleukin, is an immunotherapy that activates T cells against metastatic renal cell carcinoma and melanoma, approved in 1992.

High-dose-rate brachytherapy

High-dose-rate (HDR) brachytherapy is a radiation therapy technique delivering short, intense doses from a radioactive iridium-192 source placed inside or next to the tumor, used mainly for cervix and prostate cancer.

High-electron-mobility transistor

The high-electron-mobility transistor (HEMT), or MODFET, is a field-effect transistor whose channel is a high-mobility two-dimensional electron gas at a semiconductor heterointerface, first demonstrated at Fujitsu in 1980.

High-End Crush (고품격 짝사랑)

High-End Crush (고품격 짝사랑, 高品格單戀) is a 2015 Korean-Chinese web romantic comedy, 20 episodes of ~15 minutes, starring Jung Il-woo and Jin Se-yeon, produced by Kim Jong-hak Production and Sohu.com, which drew 120 million Sohu views by January 2016.

High-energy astrophysical neutrinos

High-energy astrophysical neutrinos are neutrinos produced when cosmic rays collide with gas or photons in distant sources, with IceCube discovering the diffuse TeV–PeV flux in 2013.

High-energy ball milling

High-energy ball milling (HEBM) is a solid-state powder processing method in which milling balls repeatedly fracture, deform, and cold-weld powder particles, producing fine or alloyed powders without melting.

High-Energy Radiotherapy

High-energy radiotherapy (megavolt radiotherapy) is cancer treatment with megavoltage-or-higher ionizing radiation: gamma rays, x-rays, electrons, protons, and heavy ions, delivered by cobalt-60 units and linacs since the 1950s.

High-energy-density physics

High-energy-density physics (HEDP) is the study of matter and radiation at extremely high temperatures and pressures, conditions found in stars and recreated in laboratories for fusion and astrophysics research.

High-energy-resolution fluorescence detection

High-energy-resolution fluorescence detection (HERFD) is a detection mode for X-ray absorption spectroscopy in which emitted fluorescence is analyzed with a crystal spectrometer, reducing core-hole lifetime broadening.

High-entropy alloy

A high-entropy alloy (HEA) is a metallic alloy mixing five or more principal elements in roughly equal shares, a field founded by independent 2004 papers from Jien-Wei Yeh and Brian Cantor.

High-entropy alloy coatings

High-entropy alloy coatings are protective metallic or ceramic layers made from alloys of at least five principal elements in near-equal proportions, applied to cheaper substrates for wear, corrosion, and oxidation resistance.

High-entropy alloy electrocatalysis

High-entropy alloy electrocatalysis is the use of alloys containing five or more principal elements in near-equal proportions as catalysts for reactions like hydrogen evolution and CO₂ reduction.

High-entropy alloy electrocatalysts

High-entropy alloy electrocatalysts are multicomponent metal catalysts, typically five or more elements in near-equiatomic proportions, that accelerate reactions such as hydrogen evolution, oxygen evolution, and oxygen reduction.

High-entropy alloy nanoparticles

High-entropy alloy nanoparticles (HEA NPs) are nanoscale particles mixing four or more elements in near-equal proportions into a single-phase solid solution, studied mainly as catalysts.

High-entropy alloy thin films

High-entropy alloy thin films are micron-scale or thinner coatings made from multicomponent alloys of five or more principal elements, bringing high hardness, wear resistance, and corrosion resistance to surfaces.

High-entropy cathode

A high-entropy cathode is a battery positive-electrode material in which five or more elements share active cation sites in near-equiatomic proportions, stabilized by high configurational entropy.

High-entropy electrolyte

A high-entropy electrolyte (HEE) is a battery electrolyte, liquid, gel, or solid, that mixes multiple salts, solvents, or ions to raise disorder, improving ionic conductivity, interfacial stability, and cycling.

High-entropy halide perovskites

High-entropy halide perovskites are halide perovskites with several cations occupying the same crystallographic site at high concentrations, so configurational entropy stabilizes the phase, improving solar cell stability.
