https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spin-destruction%20collision
In atomic physics, a spin-destruction (or spin-disorientation) collision is a physical impact where the spin angular momentum of an atom is irretrievably scrambled. This type of collision can be a significant spin relaxation mechanism for polarized alkali metal vapor. In particular, the relaxation rate of alkali metal...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Median%20graph
In graph theory, a division of mathematics, a median graph is an undirected graph in which every three vertices a, b, and c have a unique median: a vertex m(a,b,c) that belongs to shortest paths between each pair of a, b, and c. The concept of median graphs has long been studied, for instance by or (more explicitly) ...
