Tritemius

Tritemius is a Spanish Web3 venture capital firm led by CEO Luis Pastor whose CNMV-registered fund, Tritemius Fund I, launched with a €21 million initial close in May 2025.

Triterpenes

Triterpenes are terpenoid natural products with a 30-carbon skeleton built from six isoprene units, spanning acyclic squalene to hexacyclic structures; over 20,000 are known, mostly from plants.

Triterpenoids

Triterpenoids are terpenoids built on a C30 carbon skeleton from six isoprene units, forming a highly diverse class of plant natural products used in medicine, cosmetics, and agriculture.

Trithorax-group proteins

Trithorax-group (TrxG) proteins, also called trxG, are conserved chromatin regulators that activate genes via H3K4 methylation (COMPASS/MLL complexes) and SWI/SNF remodeling, antagonizing Polycomb silencing; MLL1 causes leukemia.

Tritiated water

Tritiated water, or tritium oxide, is water in which ordinary hydrogen is replaced by the radioactive isotope tritium, making it the most common environmental form of tritium.

Triticale

Triticale (× Triticosecale Wittmack) is a man-made wheat-rye hybrid cereal, first crossed in 1875, grown mainly as animal feed; hexaploid AABBRR, about 17 million tonnes produced in 2014, with inferior bread-making quality but high feed value.

Triticonazole

Triticonazole (TTZ, C17H20ClN3O) is a chiral triazole DMI fungicide (FRAC 3) developed by Bayer, used mainly as a cereal and maize seed treatment; EU approval extended to January 2027, Canada re-evaluated 2022.

Triticum

Triticum (wheats) is a Poaceae genus native from the Mediterranean to Central Asia and NW India. Contains bread wheat T. aestivum (BBAADD hexaploid, formed 8,500–9,000 years ago with Aegilops tauschii), five accepted species, ploidy 14–42 chromosomes.

Tritium

Tritium, or hydrogen-3, is the radioactive isotope of hydrogen, decaying to helium-3 with a half-life of 12.32 years; it is produced naturally and in nuclear reactors and used in fusion fuel.

Tritium breeding ratio

The tritium breeding ratio is the tritium produced in a fusion reactor's lithium blanket per tritium burned in the plasma; it must exceed 1 for self-sufficient fuel.

Tritium fuel cycle

The tritium fuel cycle is the closed loop of processes by which a deuterium-tritium fusion plant recovers unburned fuel from the exhaust and breeds replacement tritium from lithium.

Tritium labeling

Tritium labeling introduces the radioactive hydrogen isotope tritium into an organic molecule without changing its structure, a technique used widely in pharmaceutical drug discovery for tracing and measuring compounds.

Tritium Laboratory Karlsruhe

The Tritium Laboratory Karlsruhe (TLK, German: Tritiumlabor Karlsruhe) is a research facility at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, dedicated in 1993 for handling tritium, the radioactive isotope of hydrogen.

Tritium radioluminescence

Tritium radioluminescence, also called tritium lighting, is the continuous glow produced when tritium's beta particles excite a phosphor in a sealed capsule, used in watch dials and exit signs.

Tritium retention

Tritium retention is the trapping and accumulation of tritium, the radioactive fuel of deuterium–tritium fusion, in a fusion device's plasma-facing components; carbon walls retained up to 30% of injected tritium.

Tritium Systems Test Assembly

The Tritium Systems Test Assembly, or TSTA, was a Los Alamos National Laboratory facility, begun in 1978, for full-scale testing of deuterium-tritium fuel processing for fusion reactors.

Triton (film)

Triton is an unreleased horror-fantasy feature directed by Janell Shirtcliff, written by Angie Simms, starring Freya Allan, Josh Whitehouse, Raff Law, Elsie Hewitt, Thalia Besson, and Malcolm McRae; three women vacationing in Greece meet dangerous men. Filmed in Athens, wrapped December 2023, in post-production.

Triton (moon)

Triton, designated Neptune I, is the largest moon of Neptune, discovered by William Lassell in 1846. It orbits retrograde and is a candidate ocean world.

Triton (Τρίτων) (mythology)

Triton (Τρίτων), Greek fish-tailed sea-god, son and herald of Poseidon and Amphitrite, who calmed waves with a conch trumpet, guided the Argonauts at Lake Tritonis, and fathered Tritones in art.

Triton Container International Limited

Triton Container International Limited, also known as Triton International Limited, was a Bermuda-domiciled freight container leasing company founded in 1980 that became the world's largest container lessor before its 2023 acquisition by Brookfield Infrastructure.

Triton Poker Series

Triton Poker Series, also Triton Super High Roller Series, is a high-stakes poker tour founded in 2015 by Paul Phua and Richard Yong, known for the £1,050,000-buy-in 2019 Triton Million and its Short Deck, NLH, and PLO events.

Triton X-100

Triton X-100, also known as octoxinol or polyoxyethylene octyl phenyl ether, is a mild nonionic surfactant widely used in laboratories to solubilize cell membranes, extract proteins, and inactivate enveloped viruses.

Tritone

The tritone (Latin tritonus), also called the augmented fourth or devil's interval, is a musical interval spanning three whole tones, six semitones in 12-tone equal temperament.

Tritoqualine

Tritoqualine (Hypostamine, Livalfa, Inhibostamin), ATC R06AX21, is an isoquinoline histidine decarboxylase inhibitor with no H1 receptor action, used for allergic rhinitis and studied for anesthesia-related histamine reactions.

Tritosulfuron

Tritosulfuron (CAS 142469-14-5), a sulfonylurea, group 2 ALS-inhibitor herbicide for dicot weeds in cereals and maize; EU approval since 2008 was not renewed in 2024 after the BASF renewal withdrawal.

Trituration

Trituration is a laboratory purification technique in which an impure solid is ground or stirred with a solvent that dissolves impurities but not the desired product, which is then filtered off.

Triturus

Triturus, the crested and marbled newts, is a genus of 10 aquatic newt species in Salamandridae ranging from England to the Urals, known for male breeding crests and a balanced lethal system killing half their offspring.

TRIUMF

TRIUMF, originally the Tri-University Meson Facility, is Canada's national particle accelerator center on the University of British Columbia campus in Vancouver, founded in 1968 and home to the 520 MeV cyclotron.
