https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spin%E2%80%93charge%20separation | In condensed matter physics, spin–charge separation is an unusual behavior of electrons in some materials in which they 'split' into three independent particles, the spinon, the orbiton and the holon (or chargon). The electron can always be theoretically considered as a bound state of the three, with the spinon carryin... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Recursion%20%28computer%20science%29 | In computer science, recursion is a method of solving a computational problem where the solution depends on solutions to smaller instances of the same problem. Recursion solves such recursive problems by using functions that call themselves from within their own code. The approach can be applied to many types of proble... |
