Satu Mustjoki
Satu Mustjoki is a Finnish physician-scientist and Professor of Translational Hematology at the University of Helsinki since 2017, known for discovering somatic STAT3 mutations in large granular lymphocytic leukemia.
Satu Rämö
Satu Rämö (born 1980) is a Finnish-born, Iceland-based author of the bestselling "Nordic blue" Hildur crime series about detective Hildur Rúnarsdóttir; over 1.5 million copies sold, adapted to TV and stage.
Satun Oil and Gas Field
Satun Oil and Gas Field (Thai: สตูล) is an offshore gas and condensate field in Thailand's Gulf of Thailand, discovered in 1980 and operated by PTTEP.
Satun UNESCO Global Geopark
Satun UNESCO Global Geopark, Thailand's first UNESCO Global Geopark (2018), spans 259,700 ha of Satun Province with Cambrian-Permian fossil strata, karst geosites, and community geotourism.
Satuni
Satuni was a ruler of the Lullubi, warlike tribes of the Sherizor plain in the Zagros Mountains, defeated and apparently subjugated by Naram-Sin of Akkad around 2254–2218 BCE.
Satuq Bughra Khan

Satura
Satura is the fourth poetry collection by Italian poet Eugenio Montale, published by Mondadori in 1971, including the elegiac Xenia poems for his wife Drusilla Tanzi.
Saturable absorption
Saturable absorption is a nonlinear optical phenomenon characterized by reduced absorption at high intensity. It is vital for devices like the SESAM, passive Q-switching, and passive mode-locking in lasers.
Saturable reactor
A saturable reactor is a magnetic device, an inductor whose impedance a DC control winding sets by driving the core into or out of saturation, used in magnetic amplifiers.
Saturae Menippeae
Varronian satire, called Menippean Satires by its author Marcus Terentius Varro, was about 150 books of prose-and-verse Latin satire on morality and philosophy, surviving only in fragments.
Saturated and unsaturated compounds
Saturated and unsaturated compounds are the two classes of organic compounds divided by whether carbon atoms are joined only by single bonds or also by double or triple bonds.
Saturated calomel electrode
The saturated calomel electrode is a reference electrode with mercury in contact with calomel and saturated potassium chloride, giving a constant potential of about +0.24 V.
Saturated fat
Saturated fat, fatty acids with no double bonds in butter, tallow, palm and coconut oils; chain length determines LDL effects, and replacement with polyunsaturated fat, not carbohydrate, drives cardiovascular outcomes.
Saturated model
A saturated model, also called a saturated structure, is a model of a first-order theory realizing every type over smaller parameter sets, a key concept from Morley and Vaught's 1962 paper.
Saturation (magnetic)
Magnetic saturation, or saturation magnetization, is the maximum magnetization a material can reach as the applied field rises, a defining property of ferromagnetic and ferrimagnetic materials.
Saturation arithmetic
Saturation arithmetic, also called clamped or clipped arithmetic, is computer arithmetic in which overflowing results clamp to the largest or smallest representable value instead of wrapping.
Saturation diving
Saturation diving is a technique where divers live under pressure until their tissues saturate with inert gas, so decompression is taken once after days of deep work.
Saturation flow rate
Saturation flow rate is the equivalent hourly rate, in vehicles per hour per lane, at which queued vehicles traverse a signalized intersection approach assuming constant green.
Saturation index (water chemistry)
A saturation index is a dimensionless water chemistry number showing whether water tends to dissolve or precipitate a mineral; the Langelier index of 1936 is its oldest applied form.
Saturation number
The saturation number sat(n, H) is the minimum number of edges in an n-vertex graph that is maximal H-free, the minimizing counterpart of the Turán number.
Saturation physics
Saturation physics is the branch of quantum chromodynamics describing hadrons at high energy or small x, where gluon recombination balances emission and the Color Glass Condensate describes the regime.
Saturation Point (novella)
Saturation Point is a 2024 climate-fiction novella by Adrian Tchaikovsky (Solaris, Terrible Worlds: Transformations), following biologist Jasmine Marks into the deadly equatorial Zone; it won the 2024 BSFA Award and is being adapted by Universal.
Saturation vapor pressure
Saturation vapor pressure is the pressure of a vapor in equilibrium with its liquid or solid at a given temperature, rising rapidly as temperature increases.
Saturation velocity
Saturation velocity is the maximum drift velocity a charge carrier can reach in a semiconductor under high electric field, usually about 10⁷ cm/s, set by optical phonon emission.
Saturday
Saturday is the day following Friday and preceding Sunday, named after Saturn, the Jewish Sabbath, and the only English weekday retaining its Roman planetary name.
Saturday Night (2024 film)
Saturday Night (2024) is Jason Reitman and Gil Kenan's real-time comedy-drama about the 90 minutes before SNL's first broadcast on October 11, 1975, starring Gabriel LaBelle as Lorne Michaels, released by Columbia Pictures.
