Angstrom Levy

Angstrom Levy, a dimension-portaling scientist villain from Robert Kirkman's Invincible (first appearance Invincible #16, 2004), whose failed experiment merged his mind with multiversal variants and drove his revenge on Invincible; voiced by Sterling K. Brown in the Prime Video series.

Angstrom-scale capillaries

Angstrom-scale capillaries are artificial fluidic channels a few ångströms in size, built by stacking atomically flat 2D crystals such as graphene and hBN for desalination and molecular separation.

Anguilla

Anguilla: British Overseas Territory in the Caribbean, capital The Valley, named by Columbus in 1493 (Spanish for eel). Separated from St Kitts after the 1967 revolution; .ai domain fees now about 20% of government revenue.

Anguillan Revolution

The Anguillan Revolution (1967–1969), led by James Ronald Webster, was a movement rejecting the Associated State of Saint Kitts and seeking a return to British rule.

Anguillidae

Anguillidae is a family within the order Anguilliformes. The genus Anguilla contains about 20 species distributed in tropical and temperate zones, completing their life cycle at sea.

Anguina agrostis

Anguina agrostis, the bent grass seed-gall nematode (Anguinidae), induces seed galls in grasses and is a serious pest of bent grass seed crops in the Pacific Northwest and New Zealand.

Anguina tritici

Anguina tritici, the wheat seed-gall nematode, is the first plant-parasitic nematode described (Needham, 1743). It causes ear cockle in wheat and rye, vectors tundu disease, and survives decades dry in seed galls.

Anguirus (アンギラス)

Anguirus (アンギラス, Angirasu) is Toho's spiked Ankylosaurus kaiju, the first monster to battle Godzilla in Godzilla Raids Again (1955) and later his ally; also called Angira (ANZILLA) in the overseas release.

Anguis

Anguis is a genus of five species of legless lizards, the slow worms, family Anguidae, native to the Western Palearctic. Molecular phylogenetics split the former single species A. fragilis into A. colchica, A. graeca, A. veronensis, and A. cephallonica.

Angul power station

The Angul power station is a 1,200 MW coal-fired thermal power station operated by Jindal India Thermal Power Limited at Derang village in Angul district, Odisha, India.

Angul Smelter power station

The Angul Smelter power station, the captive power plant of NALCO, is a 1,200 MW coal-fired station at Angul in Odisha, India, built to supply its adjacent aluminum smelter.

Angul Steel power station

Angul Steel power station is an 810 MW captive coal-fired power station at Angul district, Odisha, India, owned by Jindal Steel & Power to supply its adjoining steelworks.

Aṅgula (अङ्गुल)

Aṅgula (अङ्गुल) is a traditional Indian unit of length equal to a finger's breadth, about 19 mm, and the base of larger units like the hasta and yojana.

Angular (web framework)

Angular, also known as Angular 2+, is a TypeScript-based, open-source web application framework maintained by Google and released in 2016 as a complete rewrite of AngularJS.

Angular acceleration

Angular acceleration is the rate of change of angular velocity over time, a vector quantity measured in radians per second squared and directed along the rotation axis.

Angular cheilitis

Angular cheilitis, also called perlèche or angular stomatitis, is inflammatory cracking at the mouth corners caused by saliva maceration with Candida or Staphylococcus infection; not contagious, treated with antifungals and barrier care.

Angular diameter

Angular diameter, also called angular size or apparent diameter, is the angle an object subtends at the observer; Betelgeuse became the first star so measured, in 1920.

Angular diameter distance

The angular diameter distance is a cosmological distance measure defined as an object's physical transverse size divided by its angular size, which decreases beyond a redshift of about 1.

Angular dispersion

Angular dispersion is the rate at which light's propagation angle changes with wavelength, dθ/dλ, determining how far apart a prism or grating sends different colors.

Angular displacement

Angular displacement, or angle of rotation, is the signed angle in radians through which a point on a rigid body rotates about a specified axis, written Δθ.

Angular frequency

Angular frequency, also called angular speed, is the rate at which the phase of an oscillation advances, equal to frequency multiplied by 2π and measured in radians per second.

Angular momentum

Angular momentum, also called moment of momentum, is the rotational analog of linear momentum, a vector defined for a particle as the cross product of its position and momentum.

Angular momentum of light

The angular momentum of light is the rotational momentum carried by electromagnetic radiation, having a spin part set by polarization and an orbital part from helical phase fronts.

Angular momentum operator

The angular momentum operator in quantum mechanics is a vector operator whose components generate spatial rotations and obey fixed commutation relations, covering orbital angular momentum, intrinsic spin, and their sum, with eigenvalues j(j+1)ℏ².

Angular momentum regulation

Angular momentum regulation is a control strategy for legged robots, especially humanoids, where balance is kept by changing total angular momentum via external torques rather than internal joint motion.

Angular resolution

Angular resolution, described by the Rayleigh criterion, is the smallest angular separation at which an imaging system can distinguish two point sources, set by aperture and wavelength.

Angular spectrum method

The angular spectrum method is a scalar diffraction technique that propagates a light field between planes by decomposing it into plane waves with a Fourier transform.

Angular unconformity

An angular unconformity is an erosional surface where younger beds lie at an angle to older, tilted or folded strata, recording deposition, deformation, erosion, and renewed deposition.

Angular velocity

Angular velocity, symbol ω, is the rate of change of angular position with time, measured in radians per second; as a vector it points along the axis of rotation.

AngularJS

AngularJS is an open-source JavaScript framework from Google for building single-page web applications, extending HTML with two-way data binding, MVC architecture, and dependency injection; official support ended in January 2022.
