Electrostatic spraying
Electrostatic spraying is a technique in which an electric field charges atomized liquid droplets so electrostatic attraction drives them onto a grounded target, used for paints, agricultural pesticides, and disinfectants.
Electrostatics
Electrostatics, also called classical electrostatics, is the branch of electromagnetism describing electric charges at rest and their fields and forces; it underlies capacitance, dielectrics, electrostatic shielding, xerography, and precipitators.
Electrostimulation
Electrostimulation is the clinical use of electrical currents on nerves or muscles to relieve pain, produce muscle contraction, restore lost function, or test nerve and muscle excitability.
Electrosurgery
Electrosurgery is the use of high-frequency alternating electric current to cut, coagulate, or destroy tissue during surgical and endoscopic procedures, used across general surgery, endoscopy, and dermatology.
Electrosynthesis
Electrosynthesis is the synthesis of chemical compounds, especially organic molecules, by electrochemical reactions in which electrons supplied at electrodes replace conventional chemical oxidants and reductants.
Electrosynthesis of hydrogen peroxide
Electrosynthesis of hydrogen peroxide produces H₂O₂ by electrochemical reactions, chiefly the two-electron oxygen reduction at a cathode, pursued as an on-site alternative to the centralized anthraquinone process.
Electrotherapy
Electrotherapy, also called electrical medicine or electrotherapeutics, is the therapeutic use of electrical current, from ancient electric-fish treatment and 19th-century galvanic and faradic devices to modern TENS, ECT, and deep brain stimulation.
Electrothermal atomic absorption spectrometry
Electrothermal atomic absorption spectrometry, also called graphite furnace AAS, atomizes a microliter sample in an electrically heated graphite tube, with detection limits 20 to 200 times lower than flame AAS.
Electrothermal micromirror
An electrothermal micromirror is a MEMS scanning mirror whose plate is tilted by heat-generating bimorph actuators, giving large scan angles and low voltage but slow response.
Electrothermal-chemical technology
Electrothermal-chemical technology, or ETC, is a gun propulsion technology in which an electrical pulse creates plasma that ignites the propellant, raising muzzle velocities by perhaps 30 to 40 percent.
Electrotonic potential
Electrotonic potential (electrotone): a graded, passive local change in membrane potential that spreads with decrement along neurons, described by cable theory and the length constant λ, unlike the all-or-none action potential.
Electrovaya
Electrovaya is a Canadian lithium-ion battery technology and manufacturing company founded in 1996 in Mississauga, Ontario, known for its ceramic-enhanced Infinity Battery Technology and a Jamestown, New York manufacturing plant.
Electroweak baryogenesis
Electroweak baryogenesis (EWBG) is a proposed mechanism in which the universe's matter-antimatter asymmetry was generated during the electroweak phase transition, proposed in 1985 by Kuzmin, Rubakov, and Shaposhnikov.
Electroweak interaction
The electroweak interaction, also known as the Glashow-Weinberg-Salam model, is the unified description of the electromagnetic and weak nuclear forces, formulated in the 1960s and honored with the 1979 Nobel Prize in Physics.
Electroweak precision observables
Electroweak precision observables are measured quantities, such as the Z and W boson masses and the weak mixing angle, tested against Standard Model predictions through a global fit.
Electroweak symmetry breaking
Electroweak symmetry breaking is the process in the Standard Model by which the Higgs field splits the unified electroweak force into electromagnetic and weak interactions, giving particles mass.
Electrowetting
Electrowetting is the voltage-induced change in a liquid's contact angle on a surface, described by the Young–Lippmann equation and used in liquid lenses, displays, and digital microfluidics.
Electrowinning
Electrowinning is an electrochemical metallurgy method that passes electric current through an electrolyte to deposit dissolved metals, such as copper or zinc, onto a cathode, typically after leaching.
Electrum
Electrum, also called green-gold, is a naturally occurring gold-silver alloy whose color ranges from pale yellow to white, used for the first coins struck in Lydia around 650 BCE.
Eleda Stadion
Eleda Stadion (Malmö New Stadium in UEFA play) is Malmö FF's 22,500-seat home ground in Malmö, opened 2009, designed by C.F. Møller, renamed from Swedbank Stadion in 2019, record crowd 24,148.
Eledon Pharmaceuticals, Inc.
Eledon Pharmaceuticals, Inc., formerly Novus Therapeutics, is a clinical-stage biotechnology company in Irvine, California, developing the antibody tegoprubart, which targets the CD40L pathway to protect transplanted organs from rejection.
Elefant
The Elefant, also known as the Elephant tank, was a heavy tank destroyer used by Germany in World War II, first serving as the Ferdinand at Kursk in 1943.
Elefant Traks
Elefant Traks is an independent, artist-run hip hop and electronic record label based in Sydney, Australia, founded in 1998 by Kenny Sabir, which broke The Herd, Hermitude, and Horrorshow before closing in 2024.
