The trans-Planckian censorship conjecture (TCC) is a quantum gravity principle, proposed by Alek Bedroya and Cumrun Vafa in 2019, stating that sub-Planckian quantum fluctuations never become classical in an expanding universe.
Trans-Planckian problem
The trans-Planckian problem is the concern that predictions like Hawking radiation and inflationary perturbations depend on modes traced back beyond the Planck scale, where known physics no longer applies.
trans-Prenyltransferase mechanism and structure
Trans-prenyltransferases are enzymes that join five-carbon isopentenyl diphosphate units head-to-tail onto allylic diphosphate starters, forming trans double bonds and supplying the linear backbones of more than 55,000 isoprenoid natural products.

The trans-Siberian telegraph line was built by Russia in the 1860s along the Siberian postal tract, linking European Russia to the Pacific at the Amur River.
Trans-splicing
Trans-splicing joins exons from separate pre-mRNA molecules into one mature mRNA, unlike cis-splicing. Known as spliced leader trans-splicing in trypanosomes and nematodes, rare in humans, and used therapeutically via SMaRT and split inteins.
Trans-Tasman submarine telegraph cables
The Trans-Tasman submarine telegraph cables are undersea telegraph lines between Australia and New Zealand, opened in 1876 and abandoned after the COMPAC telephone cable was completed in 1963.
Trans–New Guinea languages

Transactinide chemistry
Transactinide chemistry studies the chemical properties of artificially produced elements with atomic numbers 104 (rutherfordium) and higher, performed atom by atom due to short half-lives.

A transaction processing system, also called a transaction server, records commercial exchanges such as banking, reservations, and order entry as reliable database transactions with ACID guarantees.
Transaction-level modeling
Transaction-level modeling (TLM) is an abstract modeling style for digital systems in which concurrent processes communicate through transactions carried by function calls, enabling fast virtual platforms and part of the SystemC standard.

Transactional outbox
Transactional outbox, also called application events: a microservices reliability pattern in which outgoing messages are written to an outbox table in the same local database transaction as the state change, then published by a relay (polling publisher or transaction log tailing), solving the dual write problem with at-least-once delivery.
