Mussel-inspired adhesives
A mussel-inspired underwater adhesive is a synthetic adhesive modeled on the DOPA-based chemistry marine mussels use to bond to wet surfaces, used in wound dressings, bone adhesion, and coatings.
Mussel-inspired tough surgical adhesive
A mussel-inspired tough surgical adhesive is a synthetic tissue glue that copies mussel DOPA chemistry to bond wet tissue, designed as an alternative to sutures and staples.

Muster roll (maritime)
A muster roll is an official record of a ship's crew kept by the master or owner, required in Britain from 1747 to administer a fund for disabled seamen.
Musterbauordnung
The Musterbauordnung (MBO), or Model Building Code, is a German model law adopted by the Bauministerkonferenz in 1960 as the template for the sixteen binding state building codes.
Mutation (genetic algorithm)
Mutation in a genetic algorithm is the operator that randomly alters individual genes of a candidate solution with a low per-gene probability, maintaining diversity and preventing premature convergence.
Mutation operator
A mutation operator is a variation operator in an evolutionary algorithm that randomly modifies one candidate solution to produce a new one, supplying the variation on which selection acts.
Mutation testing
Mutation testing is a software testing technique that measures the strength of a test suite by injecting small artificial defects, called mutants, and checking whether the tests kill them.

Mutual authentication
Mutual authentication, also called two-way authentication, is a procedure in which both entities in an exchange verify each other's identity, unlike unilateral authentication, which verifies only one side.
Mutual exclusion
Mutual exclusion is the requirement that only one thread or process at a time may execute a given code region, enforced by locks, mutexes, and semaphores.
Mutual TLS
Mutual TLS (mTLS) is a mode of TLS in which both peers present X.509 certificates and verify each other, used for machine-to-machine authentication in service meshes.
MuZero
MuZero is a model-based reinforcement learning algorithm introduced by Google DeepMind in 2019, which matched AlphaZero on Go, chess, and shogi without the game rules and set a new Atari state of the art.
Muzzle brake
A muzzle brake, also known as a recoil brake or muzzle compensator, is a device on a gun's muzzle that redirects propellant gas to reduce recoil and muzzle flip.
Muzzle energy
Muzzle energy is the kinetic energy a projectile has at the instant it leaves the barrel, calculated from bullet weight and muzzle velocity, and expressed in foot-pounds or joules.
Muzzle velocity
Muzzle velocity, or muzzle speed, is the speed at which a projectile leaves a firearm's barrel. It fixes a bullet's initial kinetic energy and is measured with a chronograph.
Muzzleloader
A muzzleloader is a firearm loaded through the open front of the barrel and fired with black powder, the standard firearm until breechloaders appeared in the late 1800s.
MV (satellite bus)
MV was a family of Soviet interplanetary spacecraft buses approved at OKB-1 in 1961, serving as the platform for early Mars and Venus probes and the Venera series.
