    The Conjugal Configuration. " The Conjugal Configuration " is the first episode of the twelfth and final season of the American television sitcom The Big Bang Theory, and the 256th episode of the series overall. The episode first aired on CBS on September 24, 2018.

  3. Electron shell - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electron_shell

    In chemistry and atomic physics, an electron shell may be thought of as an orbit that electrons follow around an atom 's nucleus. The closest shell to the nucleus is called the "1 shell" (also called the "K shell"), followed by the "2 shell" (or "L shell"), then the "3 shell" (or "M shell"), and so on farther and farther from the nucleus.

  4. Continuum mechanics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Continuum_mechanics

    t. e. Continuum mechanics is a branch of mechanics that deals with the deformation of and transmission of forces through materials modeled as a continuous medium (also called a continuum) rather than as discrete particles. The French mathematician Augustin-Louis Cauchy was the first to formulate such models in the 19th century.

  5. Crystal field theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crystal_field_theory

    Crystal field theory. In molecular physics, crystal field theory ( CFT) describes the breaking of degeneracies of electron orbital states, usually d or f orbitals, due to a static electric field produced by a surrounding charge distribution (anion neighbors). This theory has been used to describe various spectroscopies of transition metal ...

  6. Theory of computation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theory_of_computation

    Theory of computation. An artistic representation of a Turing machine. Turing machines are frequently used as theoretical models for computing. In theoretical computer science and mathematics, the theory of computation is the branch that deals with what problems can be solved on a model of computation, using an algorithm, how efficiently they ...

  7. Fuzzball (string theory) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fuzzball_(string_theory)

    Fuzzballs are hypothetical objects in superstring theory, intended to provide a fully quantum description of the black holes predicted by general relativity . The fuzzball hypothesis dispenses with the singularity at the heart of a black hole by positing that the entire region within the black hole's event horizon is actually an extended object ...

  8. Covalent bond - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Covalent_bond

    Covalent bond. A covalent bond forming H 2 (right) where two hydrogen atoms share the two electrons. A covalent bond is a chemical bond that involves the sharing of electrons to form electron pairs between atoms. These electron pairs are known as shared pairs or bonding pairs. The stable balance of attractive and repulsive forces between atoms ...

  9. Turing machine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turing_machine

    Classes of automata. (Clicking on each layer gets an article on that subject) A Turing machine is a mathematical model of computation describing an abstract machine [1] that manipulates symbols on a strip of tape according to a table of rules. [2] Despite the model's simplicity, it is capable of implementing any computer algorithm.
