Morlais
Morlais is a tidal stream energy project run by Menter Môn on 35 km² of seabed off Holy Island, Anglesey, Wales, with potential for up to 240 MW.
Morning star (weapon)
The morning star, from the German Morgenstern, is a medieval weapon with a spiked head mounted directly on a shaft, often confused with the ball-and-chain military flail.
Morning-glory spillway
A morning-glory spillway, also called a glory hole or bell-mouth spillway, is a funnel-shaped dam spillway where water flows over a circular weir lip, down a shaft, and through a tunnel.
Morphing (computer graphics)
Morphing is a computer graphics technique that transforms one image or shape into another by warping features into alignment and blending colors, producing in-between frames.
Morphing wing mechanism
A morphing wing mechanism is a structural and actuation system that lets an aircraft wing change shape smoothly in flight, replacing hinged control surfaces with flexible, jointless structures.
Morphological computation
Morphological computation is a concept in robotics and embodied cognition holding that a body's form and dynamics can perform work otherwise left to a central controller, underpinning soft robotics.
Morphological filtering
Morphological filtering is a nonlinear image-processing technique that probes an image with a small template called a structuring element, built from erosions and dilations, to remove noise, enhance shapes, and extract features.
MorphOS
MorphOS is a lightweight desktop operating system for PowerPC-based computers, descended from classic AmigaOS and able to run legacy Amiga applications through a built-in JIT compiler.
