Miscibility
Miscibility is the ability of a mixture to form a single phase over certain temperatures, pressures, and compositions, like ethanol and water mixing fully while oil and water separate.
Miscibility gap
A miscibility gap is a region of a phase diagram where a single homogeneous mixture is not stable and separates into two or more coexisting phases of different composition.
Mise en pratique
A mise en pratique (French for "putting into practice") is a set of instructions for realizing an SI unit definition in practice, prepared by a CIPM Consultative Committee.
Misfit dislocation
A misfit dislocation is a line defect at the interface between an epitaxial film and its substrate, relieving lattice mismatch strain once the film grows beyond a critical thickness.
Misha Yu. Ivanov
Misha Yu. Ivanov, also known as Misha Ivanov, is a Russian-born theoretical physicist born in 1964 who studies electron motion on attosecond timescales driven by intense lasers.
Misner–Sharp mass
The Misner–Sharp mass is a quasi-local mass function in general relativity, defined for a sphere of matter in a spherically symmetric spacetime, introduced by Charles Misner and David Sharp in 1964.
Missing at random
Missing at random (MAR) is a statistical assumption about incomplete data stating that missingness depends only on observed data, one of three mechanisms classified by Donald Rubin in 1976.
Missing data
Missing data, also called missingness or missing values, are values in a study or survey that went unrecorded, and are handled by imputation and weight adjustment.
Missing energy (particle physics)
Missing energy in particle physics is energy carried out of a collision by particles a detector cannot see, usually neutrinos, measured as missing transverse energy (MET).
Missing xenon
Missing xenon, also called the missing xenon paradox or missing Xe problem, is the shortfall of over 90% of Earth's expected atmospheric xenon relative to chondritic meteorites.
Missing-linker and missing-cluster defects in Zr-MOFs
Missing-linker and missing-cluster defects are the two principal vacancy types in zirconium metal–organic frameworks (Zr-MOFs), most studied in UiO-66 and deliberately engineered to improve adsorption and catalysis.
Mist
Mist is a suspension of microscopic water droplets in the air near the ground that reduces visibility but not below 1 kilometer, when it becomes fog.
Mist chemical vapor deposition
Mist chemical vapor deposition (mist CVD) is a solution-based thin-film deposition technique in which ultrasonically atomized precursor droplets form oxide films on heated substrates at atmospheric pressure.
Mistral (wind)
The mistral is a cold, dry, turbulent regional wind of southern France that blows down the Rhône valley and over Provence toward the Mediterranean, gusting to 100 km/h.
Misuse of p-values
Misuse of p-values is the interpretation of p-values in ways their statistical meaning does not support, such as reading them as the probability that a hypothesis is true.
Misuse of statistics
Misuse of statistics, also called abuse of statistics, is the misleading use, presentation, or interpretation of statistical data through deliberate spin, careless error, or misunderstanding, arising in research, journalism, advertising, and politics.
MIT Introductory Physics Series
The MIT Introductory Physics Series is a set of four introductory physics textbooks by A.P. French, arising from MIT curriculum work begun in 1960, covering relativity, mechanics, waves, and quantum physics.
Mitchell C. Begelman
Mitchell C. Begelman is an American theoretical astrophysicist at the University of Colorado Boulder and JILA Fellow, known for work on accreting black holes, relativistic jets, and active galactic nuclei.
Mitchell Feigenbaum
Mitchell Feigenbaum (1944–2019) was an American mathematical physicist who discovered the universal Feigenbaum constants governing the period-doubling route to chaos, working largely at Los Alamos.
Mitchell Winnik
Mitchell A. Winnik is a polymer chemist and full professor at the University of Toronto, known for latex film research, living CDSA of block copolymer micelles, and Maxpar reagents.
Mithramycin
Mithramycin, also called plicamycin or Mithracin, is an antineoplastic antibiotic produced by Streptomyces bacteria that binds GC-rich DNA and inhibits transcription; toxicity ended its clinical use by 2000.
Mitochondrion
Mitochondrion (ISSN 1567-7249) is a bimonthly Elsevier peer-reviewed journal, official journal of the Mitochondria Research Society, publishing mitochondrial basic science and disease research since 2001; JIF 4.5, SCIE and Scopus indexed.
Mitragynine
Mitragynine is the principal indole alkaloid of the kratom tree Mitragyna speciosa: a G-protein-biased partial mu-opioid agonist, CYP3A4-metabolized to 7-hydroxymitragynine, unscheduled by the UN but increasingly regulated amid synthetic 7-OH products.
Mitsuhiko Shionoya
Mitsuhiko Shionoya (塩谷光彦) is a Japanese inorganic and supramolecular coordination chemist, first in the world to develop metal complex-type artificial DNA, now a professor at Tokyo University of Science.
Mitsunobu reaction
The Mitsunobu reaction is an organic reaction that converts primary or secondary alcohols into substituted products using triphenylphosphine and DEAD or DIAD, first reported by Oyo Mitsunobu in 1967.
Mitsuo Kira
Mitsuo Kira (吉良 満夫) is a Japanese organometallic chemist specializing in silicon chemistry, a professor emeritus at Tohoku University who isolated the first stable dialkylsilylene in 1999.
Mitsuo Sawamoto
Mitsuo Sawamoto (澤本光男, born 1951) is a Japanese polymer chemist and Kyoto University professor emeritus who developed living cationic polymerization and the first metal-catalyzed living radical polymerization.
Mitsuru Akashi
Mitsuru Akashi (明石 満) is a Japanese polymer chemist at Kagoshima and Osaka University known for layer-by-layer capsules, nanoparticles for drug delivery, and a 2004 Nature paper on template polymerization.
Mittag-Leffler function
The Mittag-Leffler function is an entire function defined by a power series with gamma-function coefficients, introduced by Gösta Mittag-Leffler in 1903 and reducing to the exponential at α = 1.
Mixed anhydride
A mixed anhydride is a compound with two different acyl groups bonded to the same oxygen atom, more reactive than symmetrical anhydrides and widely used in peptide coupling, though most disproportionate rapidly.
