- (physical chemistry) Any of two or more compounds with the same molecular formula but with different structure.
- a compound that exists in forms having different arrangements of atoms but the same molecular weight
noun
- (physics) A nuclear reaction in which nuclei combine to form more massive nuclei with the concomitant release of energy.
- a nuclear reaction in which nuclei combine to form more massive nuclei with the simultaneous release of energy
- (cytology) The process by which two distinct lipid bilayers merge their hydrophobic core, resulting in one interconnected structure.
- The act of merging separate things, or the result thereof.

- (music) A style of music that blends disparate genres; especially different types of jazz and reggae.

- The act of melting or liquefying something by heating it.
- (fiction) The act of two characters merging into one, typically more powerful, being; or the merged being itself.
- an occurrence that involves the production of a union
- correction of an unstable part of the spine by joining two or more vertebrae; usually done surgically but sometimes done by traction or immobilization
- the combining of images from the two eyes to form a single visual percept
- the state of being combined into one body
- the act of fusing (or melting) together
- the merging of adjacent sounds or syllables or words
verb
noun
- (nuclear physics) A nuclear reaction in which particles produced by the fission of one atom trigger fissions of other atoms.
- (figurative) A series of events, each one causing or influencing the next.
- (physical chemistry) A chemical reaction where the products of the reaction influence the reactants of a following reaction, leading to positive feedback.
- a series of chemical reactions in which the product of one is a reactant in the next
- a self-sustaining nuclear reaction; a series of nuclear fissions in which neutrons released by splitting one atom leads to the splitting of others
noun
- the energy that an atomic system must acquire before a process (such as an emission or reaction) can occur
- (physical chemistry, physics) The energy required to initiate a reaction. For example, the flame from the fuse of a firecracker provides a small initial amount of energy, after which the explosive reaction proceeds by itself, releasing a considerably larger quantity of energy. A small push given to a stable but top-heavy object may cause it to fall over; the potential energy released during the fall was present in the system all along but could not be realized as long as the object was upright and balanced.
noun
- the atomic process that occurs during a chemical reaction
- a natural object resembling a machine in structure or function
- the technical aspects of doing something
- device consisting of a piece of machinery; has moving parts that perform some function
- (philosophy) the philosophical theory that all phenomena can be explained in terms of physical or biological causes
- (philosophy) The theory that all natural phenomena can be explained by physical causes.
- Any process of, or system designed to manage useful energy conversion.
- A mental, physical, or chemical process.
- A group of entities, such as objects, that interact together.
- (within a machine or machinery) Any mechanical means for the conversion or control of motion, or the transmission or control of power.
- Any combination of cams, gears, links, belts, chains and logical mechanical elements.
noun

phrase
verb
noun
- (slang) Abbreviation of atomic bomb; a weapon that derives its energy from nuclear reactions and has enormous destructive power; in particular, those that rely on the uncontrolled explosive chain reaction of nuclear fission.
- a nuclear weapon in which enormous energy is released by nuclear fission (splitting the nuclei of a heavy element like uranium 235 or plutonium 239)
