John Toner (physicist) John Toner is an American Theoretical Condensed Matter Physicist. In 2020, the American Physical Society awarded him the Lars Onsager Prize for Theoretical Statistical Physics (shared with Yuhai Tu and Tomas Vicsek). He was the Martin Gutzwiller Fellow for 2019-2020 at the Max Planck Institute for the Physics of Complex Systems (MPIPKS) in Dresden, Germany. He was a Simons Fellow in 2012-2013, and is a Fellow of the American Physical Society. He is currently Professor of Physics at the University of Oregon. Dr. Toner received a bachelor's degree in Mathematics from MIT, and a Ph.D. in Physics from Harvard University, where his thesis advisor was David Nelson. He was The James Franck Fellow at the University of Chicago, and a Research Staff Member at the IBM T. J. Watson Research Center in Yorktown Heights, NY. He has worked on a wide range of topics in Condensed Matter Physics, including liquid crystals, superconductors, quasicrystals, non-equilibrium dynamical systems, active matter), and disordered systems. His development with Yuhai Tu of the hydrodynamic theory of "flocking", and specifically their invention of what are now known as the "Toner-Tu" equations, played a major role in starting the field of active matter. It was for this work that he was awarded the Onsager Prize. [4]
Donald F. Geesaman American experimental nuclear physicist working at Argonne National Laboratory. He is a fellow of the American Physical Society and the American Association for the Advancement of Science. He has served as the director of the Physics Division at Argonne National Laboratory and the Chair of the Nuclear Science Advisory Committee (NSAC) for the US Department of Energy and the US National Science Foundation. Dr. Geesaman earned his Bachelor's degree from the Colorado School of Mines in 1971 and both his M.A (1972) and Ph.D. (1976) in Physics from the State University of New York, Stony Brook.
Elke-Caroline Aschenauer German experimental particle physicist working at the Brookhaven National Laboratory in Long Island, United States. She is an expert on the nucleon structure and on the parton dynamics in the context of quantum chromodynamics. In 2018, Aschenauer has been awarded the prestigious Humboldt Research Award [Humboldt], attributed by the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation in Bonn, Germany. Berndt Mueller, Brookhaven Lab’s Associate Laboratory Director for Nuclear and Particle Physics, mentioned, “Elke has been one of the driving forces of the RHIC Spin program over the past decade, which culminated in the discovery that gluons are major contributors to the spin of the proton. In addition, she has established herself as one of the global leaders developing the science program of a proposed future Electron-Ion Collider. The Humboldt Research Award recognizes her outsized contributions to the science of nucleon structure.”

The collaboration measured the charge radius of the pion by bombarding electrons with negative pions. [20]

Electric impermeability – Mentioned in [51] in the chapter about Electro-Optics
Electrical losses – There are already articles to the closely related topics of Joule heating and Copper loss, and a subsection at Electric power transmission#Losses; furthermore, Resistive loss redirects to "Joule heating" and Load loss redirects to "Copper loss". I feel that these are all distinct ideas, as is my proposition "Electrical losses". I think "resistive loss" and "load loss" should instead redirect to a new "Electrical losses" article, which would have real-world explanations, mathematical equations and also explain the differences between all of the above ideas, all in a single article.

Bragg-Kleeman Rule - where R (1 and 2) are the ranges of particle 1 and 2, (1 and 2) is the density of the medium particle 1 or 2 is traveling through, and A is the atomic weight for particle 1 or 2. It is a relation useful in detection methods for particles. It is discussed briefly in Nuclear Electronics by P.W. Nicholson. I was searching for this article because I had a question about the rule, so I can't really provide much more information.

Many Interacting Worlds a new theory involving many worlds where the worlds interact with each other. calculations using this model were shown to be able to replace the wave function. by simulating as few as 41 worlds they were able to retrodict the results of the double-slit experiment, for example. there are some possibilities for actually testing this theory. [88], [89], [90]
Massless electron approximation Electrons are assumed to have the same size orbits as without that approximation and have the same amount of attractive force to the nuclei so the electrons must be orbiting infinitely fast and so that approximation can't be applied to relativistic quantum mechanics. Furthermore, since they're assumed to be massless, the Planck constant is also assumed to be zero with nuclei behaving only like particles and just electrons behaving like waves. There are no photons in that approximation because it's nonrelativistic.
Two-temperature model The model widely used to explain the damage in the laser irradiation experiments. The model assumes the atoms and electrons of the material have different temperatures and may interchange the energy depending on the temperature difference. The Google Scholar search provides many results, for example, [93].
