NEIMS
NEIMS, or Neural Electron–Ionization Mass Spectrometry, is a neural network model from Google Brain, published in 2019, that predicts electron ionization mass spectra from chemical structures.
Nekrasov partition function
The Nekrasov partition function, introduced by Nikita Nekrasov in 2002, evaluates a four-dimensional supersymmetric gauge theory on the Omega-background and gives the Seiberg-Witten prepotential microscopically.
Nelfinavir
Nelfinavir, marketed as Viracept, is an HIV protease inhibitor used with other antiretroviral drugs to treat HIV infection; it was the fourth protease inhibitor FDA-approved, in 1997.
Nels Edlefsen
Nels Edlefsen, born 1893, was an American physicist who built the first crude cyclotron chambers in 1930 as Ernest Lawrence's first Ph.D. student at Berkeley, co-announced the method, and later worked in soil science.
Nelson Dunford
Nelson Dunford was a mathematician at Yale University known for functional analysis, who defined spectral operators and co-wrote the three-volume treatise Linear Operators with Jacob Schwartz.
Nelson Horatio Darton
Nelson Horatio Darton was an American geologist with the United States Geological Survey who mapped the Great Plains and Black Hills and named the Ogallala formation.
Nelson James Terrell
Nelson James Terrell, born 1923, was an American physicist at Los Alamos National Laboratory who showed in 1959 that a fast-moving object appears rotated, not contracted, in photographs.
Nematic liquid crystal
A nematic liquid crystal is the simplest liquid crystalline phase: a fluid of rod-like molecules aligned along a common direction but flowing like an ordinary liquid, and the working medium of most liquid crystal displays.
Nematic superconductivity
Nematic superconductivity is a superconducting state in which the Cooper-pair condensate spontaneously breaks rotational symmetry, so superconducting properties become direction-dependent; the term was coined by Liang Fu in 2014.
Nemesis (hypothetical star)
Nemesis, or the Nemesis star, is a hypothetical dim companion of the Sun proposed in 1984 to explain a 26-million-year cycle in mass extinctions; infrared surveys have ruled it out.
Nemrut Dagi
Nemrut Dagi (Nemrut Dağı), an active 2,948 m stratovolcano near Lake Van in eastern Turkey, holds a 9 x 5 km caldera with Nemrut Crater Lake and last erupted in 1650 CE, with earlier eruptions in 1441 and 1597.
NEMS (NOAA)
NEMS, the NOAA Environmental Modeling System, is a unified modeling system supporting operational weather prediction at NCEP, hosting models like the GFS, NAM, and GEFS.
Nenad Markovic
Nenad M. Marković is a Serbian electrochemist at Argonne National Laboratory, a Distinguished Fellow and JCESR chief scientist known for electrocatalysis and fuel-cell catalysts; he received the Electrochemical Society's Faraday Medal in 2013.
Neoarchean
The Neoarchean is the fourth and youngest era of the Archean Eon, spanning 2800 to 2500 million years ago, marked by major crustal growth near 2.7 billion years ago.
Neocarzinostatin
Neocarzinostatin, also called zinostatin, is a chromoprotein antitumor antibiotic produced by Streptomyces carzinostaticus and isolated in 1965; its labile enediyne chromophore damages DNA, and its SMANCS derivative has treated hepatoma in Japan since 1993.
Neoclassical tearing mode suppression
Neoclassical tearing mode suppression is the elimination of magnetic islands sustained by missing bootstrap current in tokamak plasmas, achieved mainly with microwave-driven localized current, and designed into ITER.
Neoclassical transport
Neoclassical transport, also known as neoclassical diffusion, is the theory of collisional cross-field transport in toroidally confined plasmas such as tokamaks and stellarators, predicting the bootstrap current and the irreducible minimum transport level.
Neodymium
Neodymium is a chemical element with atomic number 60, a silvery lanthanide metal discovered in 1885 and best known as the key ingredient of the strongest permanent magnets.
