In astroparticle physics , an ultra-high-energy cosmic ray ( UHECR ) is a cosmic ray with an energy greater than 1 EeV (10 18 electronvolts , approximately 0.16 joules ), [ 1 ] far beyond both the rest mass and energies typical of other cosmic ray particles. The origin of these highest energy cosmic rays is not known. ...

Ultra-high vacuum (often spelled ultrahigh in American English, UHV ) is the vacuum regime characterised by pressures lower than about 1 × 10 −6 pascals (1.0 × 10 −8 mbar ; 7.5 × 10 −9 Torr ). UHV conditions are created by pumping the gas out of a UHV chamber. At these low pressures the mean free path of a gas molecule...

Ultra-large-scale system ( ULSS ) is a term used in fields including Computer Science , Software Engineering and Systems Engineering to refer to software intensive systems with unprecedented amounts of hardware , lines of source code , numbers of users , and volumes of data . The scale of these systems gives rise to ma...

Ultra-low-sulfur diesel ( ULSD ) is diesel fuel with substantially lowered sulfur content. Since 2006, almost all of the petroleum-based diesel fuel available in Europe and North America has been of a ULSD type. The move to lower sulfur content allows for the application of advanced emissions control technologies that...

Ultra-low particulate air ( ULPA ) is a type of air filter . A ULPA filter can remove from the air at least 99.999% of dust , pollen , mold , bacteria and any airborne particles with a minimum particle penetration size of 120 nanometres (0.12 μm , ultrafine particles ). A ULPA filter can remove—to a large extent but no...

An ultracentrifuge is a centrifuge optimized for spinning a rotor at very high speeds, capable of generating acceleration as high as 1 000 000 g (approx. 9 800 km/s² ). [ 1 ] There are two kinds of ultracentrifuges, the preparative and the analytical ultracentrifuge . Both classes of instruments find important uses in ...

In condensed matter physics , an ultracold atom is an atom with a temperature near absolute zero . At such temperatures, an atom's quantum-mechanical properties become important, especially through what's known as a "superfluid" , such as Superfluid Helium 4 . To reach such low temperatures, a combination of several t...

In chronobiology , an ultradian rhythm is a recurrent period or cycle repeated throughout a 24-hour day. In contrast, circadian rhythms complete one cycle daily, while infradian rhythms such as the menstrual cycle have periods longer than a day. The Oxford English Dictionary 's definition of Ultradian specifies that it...

In functional analysis , an ultradistribution (also called an ultra-distribution [ 1 ] ) is a generalized function that extends the concept of a distributions by allowing test functions whose Fourier transforms have compact support . [ 2 ] They form an element of the dual space 𝒵′, where 𝒵 is the space of test functi...

In physics , ultradivided matter is a family of states of matter characterised by a heterogeneous mixture of two or more different materials, where the interaction energy between the suspended phase is larger than kT. The term 'ultradivided matter' encapsulates several types of substance including: soap micelles , emul...

Ultrafast X-rays or ultrashort X-ray pulses are femtosecond x-ray pulses with wavelengths occurring at interatomic distances . This beam uses the X-ray's inherent abilities to interact at the level of atomic nuclei and core electrons . This ability combined with the shorter pulses at 30 femtosecond could capture the ch...

An ultrafast molecular process is any technology that relies on properties of molecules that are only extant for a very short period of time (less than 1e-9 seconds). Such processes are very important in areas such as combustion chemistry and in the study of proteins . This chemical process -related article is a stub ...
