asteroid collapse: any of numerous small celestial bodies composed of rock and metal that move around the sun (mainly between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter); shaped like a star

meteor collapse: a streak of light in the sky at night that results when a meteoroid hits the earth's atmosphere and air friction causes the meteoroid to melt or vaporize or explode

monad collapse: (biology) a single-celled microorganism (especially a flagellate protozoan); a singular metaphysical entity from which material properties are said to derive; (chemistry) an atom having a valence of one

chemical element collapse: any of the more than 100 known substances (of which 92 occur naturally) that cannot be separated into simpler substances and that singly or in combination constitute all matter

hypostasis collapse: (metaphysics) essential nature or underlying reality; any of the three persons of the Godhead constituting the Trinity especially the person of Christ in which divine and human natures are united; the accumulation of blood in an organ; the suppression of a gene by the effect of an unrelated gene

molecule collapse: (physics and chemistry) the simplest structural unit of an element or compound

proton collapse: a stable particle with positive charge equal to the negative charge of an electron

constituent collapse: (grammar) a word or phrase or clause forming part of a larger grammatical construction; a member of a constituency; a citizen who is represented in a government by officials for whom he or she votes; "needs continued support by constituents to be re-elected"

neutron collapse: an elementary particle with 0 charge and mass about equal to a proton; enters into the structure of the atomic nucleus

alpha particle collapse: a positively charged particle that is the nucleus of the helium atom; emitted from natural or radioactive isotopes

hydrogen bomb collapse: a nuclear weapon that releases atomic energy by union of light (hydrogen) nuclei at high temperatures to form helium

blackout collapse: a momentary loss of consciousness; the failure of electric power for a general region; darkness resulting from the extinction of lights (as in a city invisible to enemy aircraft); a suspension of radio or tv broadcasting

materiality collapse: the quality of being physical; consisting of matter; relevance requiring careful consideration

ionization collapse: the process of ionizing; the formation of ions by separating atoms or molecules or radicals or by adding or subtracting electrons from atoms by strong electric fields in a gas; the condition of being dissociated into ions (as by heat or radiation or chemical reaction or electrical discharge); "the ionization of a gas"

atom collapse: (nontechnical usage) a tiny piece of anything; (physics and chemistry) the smallest component of an element having the chemical properties of the element

bombardment collapse: the act (or an instance) of subjecting a body or substance to the impact of high-energy particles (as electrons or alpha rays)

component collapse: an artifact that is one of the individual parts of which a composite entity is made up; especially a part that can be separated from or attached to a system; "spare components for cars"; "a component or constituent element of a system"; an abstract part of something; "jealousy was a component of his character"; "two constituents of a musical composition are melody and harmony"; "the grammatical elements of a sentence"; "a key factor in her success"; "humor: an effective ingredient of a speech"

photon collapse: a quantum of electromagnetic radiation; an elementary particle that is its own antiparticle

tracer collapse: ammunition whose flight can be observed by a trail of smoke; (radiology) any radioactive isotope introduced into the body to study metabolism or other biological processes; an instrument used to make tracings; an investigator who is employed to find missing persons or missing goods

accelerator collapse: a valve that regulates the supply of fuel to the engine; a scientific instrument that increases the kinetic energy of charged particles; a pedal that controls the throttle valve; "he stepped on the gas"

beta particle collapse: a high-speed electron or positron emitted in the decay of a radioactive isotope

infinitesimal collapse: (mathematics) a variable that has zero as its limit; infinitely or immeasurably small; "two minute whiplike threads of protoplasm"; "reduced to a microscopic scale"
