Graphics processing unit (GPU): GPU is a specialized processor that offloads 3D or 2D graphics rendering from the microprocessor. For example GPUs are used to create the spectacular graphics in video games. In a personal computer, a GPU can be present on a video card, or it can be on the motherboard. These GPUs, because [...]

Supercapacitors: In a conventional capacitor two metal plates are separated by an intervening substance – a dielectric. Energy is stored in the capacitor by the removal of electrons, from one metal plate and depositing them on another. This charge separation creates a potential between the two plates, which can be harnessed in an external circuit. [...]

Ejecta are particles that came out of a volcanic vent, travele through the air or under water, and fell back on the ground surface or on the ocean floor. Supervolcano: Supervolcano is a volcano capable of producing a volcanic eruption with ejecta greater than 1,000 cubic kilometers (240 cubic miles), which is thousands of times [...]

Antiparticle: In particle physics, every particle has a corresponding antiparticle. A particle and its antiparticle have identical mass and spin but have opposite values for all other non-zero quantum number labels. These labels are electric charge, color charge, flavor, electron number, muon number, tau number, and baryon number. Every fermion (lepton and quarks) carries some [...]
