Science

is systematic knowledge‑seeking.

Abampere
A unit of electric current in the centimetre–gram–second electromagnetic units (CGS‑EMU) system, equal to 10 amperes, representing high‑intensity electromagnetic flow.
Theme: measurement
ASCs
Autism spectrum conditions (ASCs) are a group of neurodevelopmental conditions that affect how a person communicates, interacts with others, processes information, and experiences the world around them.
Theme: neurodevelopmental condition
Cosmic coincidence
The observation that, at the present time, the densities of dark matter and dark energy in the universe are of similar magnitude, despite evolving differently over time.
Theme: cosmology
Gabbro
A coarse-grained, dark igneous rock formed when magma slowly cools beneath Earth’s surface, creating large interlocking crystals.
Themes: mineral and rock
Lab
A controlled space for experimentation, testing, analysis, and discovery across scientific or creative disciplines.
Themes: facility and place
M-theory
A unified theoretical framework in physics proposing that all string theories are different limits of one 11-dimensional model describing fundamental particles as vibrating membranes.
Themes: physics, theoretical physics, and unified field theories
Natural laws
Universal principles that describe consistent behaviour of the natural world, independent of human opinion or culture.
Themes: natural world and principles
N-bomb
A slang term for NBOMe class synthetic hallucinogens—especially 25I NBOMe—known for LSD-like effects, extreme potency, and a high risk of toxic or fatal overdose.
Themes: object, psychoactive drug, and substance
N-type semiconductor
An extrinsic semiconductor doped with pentavalent atoms that donate free electrons, making electrons the majority charge carriers.
Themes: electronics and materials Science
Predictive power
The ability of a model, test, or variable to accurately forecast future outcomes.
Themes: assessment and measurement
Scientific explanation
An account of why or how a phenomenon occurs, grounded in natural laws, testable evidence, and logical reasoning, identifying underlying causes or mechanisms.
Themes: explanation and reasoning
Unified ENSO system
A scientific concept describing El Niño, La Niña, and the Southern Oscillation as interconnected parts of a single ocean–atmosphere climate system in the tropical Pacific.
Theme: climate system
