Angular velocity

In physics, angular velocity (symbol or \vec, the lowercase Greek letter omega), also known as angular frequency vector,(UP1) is a pseudovector representation of how the angular position or orientation of an object changes with time, i.e. how quickly an object rotates (spins or revolves) around an axis of rotation and how fast the axis itself changes direction.

See Svedberg and Angular velocity

Centrifuge

A centrifuge is a device that uses centrifugal force to subject a specimen to a specified constant force, for example to separate various components of a fluid.

See Svedberg and Centrifuge

Chemist

A chemist (from Greek chēm(ía) alchemy; replacing chymist from Medieval Latin alchemist) is a graduated scientist trained in the study of chemistry, or an officially enrolled student in the field.

See Svedberg and Chemist

Chemistry

Chemistry is the scientific study of the properties and behavior of matter.

See Svedberg and Chemistry

Colloid

A colloid is a mixture in which one substance consisting of microscopically dispersed insoluble particles is suspended throughout another substance.

See Svedberg and Colloid

Differential centrifugation

In biochemistry and cell biology, differential centrifugation (also known as differential velocity centrifugation) is a common procedure used to separate organelles and other sub-cellular particles based on their sedimentation rate.

See Svedberg and Differential centrifugation

Femtosecond

A femtosecond is a unit of time in the International System of Units (SI) equal to 10 or of a second; that is, one quadrillionth, or one millionth of one billionth, of a second.

See Svedberg and Femtosecond

G-force

The g-force or gravitational force equivalent is mass-specific force (force per unit mass), expressed in units of standard gravity (symbol g or g0, not to be confused with "g", the symbol for grams).

See Svedberg and G-force

International System of Units

The International System of Units, internationally known by the abbreviation SI (from French Système international d'unités), is the modern form of the metric system and the world's most widely used system of measurement.

See Svedberg and International System of Units

Macromolecule

A macromolecule is a very large molecule important to biological processes, such as a protein or nucleic acid.

See Svedberg and Macromolecule

Micrometre

The micrometre (Commonwealth English) as used by the International Bureau of Weights and Measures; SI symbol: μm) or micrometer (American English), also commonly known by the non-SI term micron, is a unit of length in the International System of Units (SI) equalling (SI standard prefix "micro-".

Nobel Prize

The Nobel Prizes (Nobelpriset; Nobelprisen) are five separate prizes awarded to those who, during the preceding year, have conferred the greatest benefit to humankind, as established by the 1895 will of Swedish chemist, engineer, and industrialist Alfred Nobel, in the year before he died.

See Svedberg and Nobel Prize

Organelle

In cell biology, an organelle is a specialized subunit, usually within a cell, that has a specific function.

See Svedberg and Organelle

Particle (ecology)

In marine and freshwater ecology, a particle is a small object.

Prokaryote

A prokaryote (less commonly spelled procaryote) is a single-cell organism whose cell lacks a nucleus and other membrane-bound organelles.

See Svedberg and Prokaryote

Prokaryotic large ribosomal subunit

50S is the larger subunit of the 70S ribosome of prokaryotes, i.e. bacteria and archaea.

Prokaryotic small ribosomal subunit

The prokaryotic small ribosomal subunit, or 30S subunit, is the smaller subunit of the 70S ribosome found in prokaryotes.

Protein

Proteins are large biomolecules and macromolecules that comprise one or more long chains of amino acid residues.

See Svedberg and Protein

Ribosomal protein

A ribosomal protein (r-protein or rProtein) is any of the proteins that, in conjunction with rRNA, make up the ribosomal subunits involved in the cellular process of translation.

See Svedberg and Ribosomal protein

Ribosomal RNA

Ribosomal ribonucleic acid (rRNA) is a type of non-coding RNA which is the primary component of ribosomes, essential to all cells.

See Svedberg and Ribosomal RNA

Ribosome

Ribosomes are macromolecular machines, found within all cells, that perform biological protein synthesis (messenger RNA translation).

See Svedberg and Ribosome

Second

The second (symbol: s) is the unit of time in the International System of Units (SI), historically defined as of a day – this factor derived from the division of the day first into 24 hours, then to 60 minutes and finally to 60 seconds each (24 × 60 × 60. Svedberg and second are units of time.

Sedimentation

Sedimentation is the deposition of sediments.

See Svedberg and Sedimentation

Sedimentation coefficient

In chemistry, the sedimentation coefficient of a particle characterizes its sedimentation (tendency to settle out of suspension) during centrifugation.

See Svedberg and Sedimentation coefficient

Settling

Settling is the process by which particulates move towards the bottom of a liquid and form a sediment.

See Svedberg and Settling

Siemens (unit)

The siemens (symbol: S) is the unit of electric conductance, electric susceptance, and electric admittance in the International System of Units (SI).

See Svedberg and Siemens (unit)

Sievert

The sievert (symbol: SvPlease note there are two non-SI units that use the same Sv abbreviation: the sverdrup and svedberg.) is a unit in the International System of Units (SI) intended to represent the stochastic health risk of ionizing radiation, which is defined as the probability of causing radiation-induced cancer and genetic damage.

See Svedberg and Sievert

Suspension (chemistry)

In chemistry, a suspension is a heterogeneous mixture of a fluid that contains solid particles sufficiently large for sedimentation.
