https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rydberg%20state
The Rydberg states of an atom or molecule are electronically excited states with energies that follow the Rydberg formula as they converge on an ionic state with an ionization energy. Although the Rydberg formula was developed to describe atomic energy levels, it has been used to describe many other systems that have ...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Backdrive
A backdrive is a component used in reverse to obtain its input from its output. This extends to many concepts and systems from thought based to practical mechanical applications. Not every system can be backdriven. A DC electrical generator can be implemented by backdriving a DC electric motor, however a worm drive wo...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fringe%20shift
In interferometry experiments such as the Michelson–Morley experiment, a fringe shift is the behavior of a pattern of “fringes” when the phase relationship between the component sources change. A fringe pattern can be created in a number of ways but the stable fringe pattern found in the Michelson type interferometers...

Human papillomavirus infection (HPV infection) is caused by a DNA virus from the Papillomaviridae family. Many HPV infections cause no symptoms and 90% resolve spontaneously within two years. In some cases, an HPV infection persists and results in either warts or precancerous lesions. These lesions, depending on the si...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monogenism
Monogenism or sometimes monogenesis is the theory of human origins which posits a common descent for all human races. The negation of monogenism is polygenism.
