Pockels effect. A schematic of a Pockels cell modulating the polarization of light. In this case, the Pockels cell is acting as a quarter wave plate, where linearly-polarized light is converted to circularly-polarized light. With the addition of a Brewster window (left), this change in polarization can be converted to a change in the intensity ...
Technicolor. "Technicolor is natural color" Paul Whiteman stars in an ad for his film King of Jazz from The Film Daily, 1930. Technicolor is a series of color motion picture processes, the first version dating back to 1916, [ 1] and followed by improved versions over several decades. Definitive Technicolor movies using three black-and-white ...
In photography and image processing, color balance is the global adjustment of the intensities of the colors (typically red, green, and blue primary colors ). An important goal of this adjustment is to render specific colors – particularly neutral colors like white or grey – correctly. Hence, the general method is sometimes called gray ...
The Tyndall effect is light scattering by particles in a colloid such as a very fine suspension (a sol). Also known as Tyndall scattering , it is similar to Rayleigh scattering , in that the intensity of the scattered light is inversely proportional to the fourth power of the wavelength , so blue light is scattered much more strongly than red ...
The Penrose process (also called Penrose mechanism) is theorised by Sir Roger Penrose as a means whereby energy can be extracted from a rotating black hole. [1] [2] [3] The process takes advantage of the ergosphere – a region of spacetime around the black hole dragged by its rotation faster than the speed of light, meaning that from the point of view of an outside observer any matter inside ...

The short-term effects of alcohol consumption range from a decrease in anxiety and motor skills and euphoria at lower doses to intoxication (drunkenness), to stupor, unconsciousness, anterograde amnesia (memory "blackouts"), and central nervous system depression at higher doses. Cell membranes are highly permeable to alcohol, so once it is in ...
The federal government routinely revises economic data, but it rarely makes a correction as large as it did on Wednesday, when the Bureau of Labor Statistics reported America’s economy created ...
