Many-body dispersion
Many-body dispersion is the pairwise non-additive part of the van der Waals interaction energy, treated explicitly in density-functional theory by correction methods such as the many-body dispersion (MBD) method.
Many-body dispersion method
The many-body dispersion (MBD) method is a model for the long-range van der Waals energy of molecules and solids that treats all atoms collectively rather than as independent pairs.
Many-body localization
Many-body localization (MBL) extends Anderson localization to interacting quantum systems: strong quenched disorder stops transport and thermalization, letting the system remember its local initial conditions indefinitely.
Many-body mobility edge
A many-body mobility edge is a critical energy in the spectrum of an interacting, disordered quantum system separating many-body localized eigenstates from ergodic ones; its existence in the thermodynamic limit is contested.
Many-body simulation
Many-body simulation is the numerical study of many interacting particles in physics and chemistry, where exact calculation is impossible; methods include molecular dynamics, Monte Carlo, and tensor networks.
Many-one reduction
Many-one reduction, also called mapping reduction, is a way of comparing decision problems in computability theory: A reduces to B when a computable function preserves membership.
Many-sorted logic
Many-sorted logic is a version of first-order logic in which quantification ranges over several distinct domains, called sorts; it underlies the SMT-LIB standard used by SMT solvers.
Many-valued logic
Many-valued logic, also called multivalued logic, is a family of logical systems generalizing classical two-valued logic to three or more truth values, originating with Jan Łukasiewicz in 1920 and including fuzzy logic.
Many-worlds interpretation
The many-worlds interpretation, also called Everett's relative-state formulation, is an interpretation of quantum mechanics, proposed by Hugh Everett III in 1957, in which the wave function never collapses.
Map
A map is a symbolized representation of geographic reality showing selected features for situations where spatial relationships matter most; making and studying maps is called cartography.
Map (mathematics)
In mathematics, a map, or mapping, is a rule assigning each element of a domain to exactly one element of a codomain, usually synonymous with function.
MAP sensor
A MAP sensor (manifold absolute pressure sensor) is an automotive sensor measuring intake manifold pressure, which the ECU uses with engine speed to calculate air mass and meter fuel.
Maple (software)
Maple, also known as the Maple computer algebra system, is a general-purpose mathematics software developed by Maplesoft, conceived at the University of Waterloo in November 1980.
Mapping class group
The mapping class group of a surface is the group of isotopy classes of orientation-preserving homeomorphisms, first studied by Max Dehn in 1922 and central to low-dimensional topology.
Mapping cone (homological algebra)
The mapping cone of a chain map f is a chain complex Cone(f) whose homology measures exactly the failure of f to be a quasi-isomorphism.
Mapping Nearby Galaxies at Apache Point Observatory
Mapping Nearby Galaxies at Apache Point Observatory (MaNGA) is an integral field spectroscopic survey of over 10,000 nearby galaxies, one of three core programs of SDSS-IV.
Maprotiline
Maprotiline, sold as Ludiomil, is a tetracyclic antidepressant used to treat depressive illness, the first of its class, developed at Ciba in 1967 and selectively inhibiting norepinephrine reuptake.
Mara Prentiss
Mara Prentiss, born 1959, is an American experimental physicist and Harvard professor known for creating atom lithography, which uses light to pattern atoms into features tens of nanometers wide.
Marangoni effect
The Marangoni effect, described by Carlo Marangoni in 1878, is the flow of liquid beneath a surface where surface tension varies along the interface, as in the tears of wine.
Marble
Marble is a metamorphic rock formed when limestone or dolostone recrystallizes under heat and pressure, prized for sculpture and architecture since antiquity for its polish and workability.
