-tron, -tronic, -tronics +

The use of acoustic energy to create electromagnetic waves, usually with crystals or metals that react when bombarded with acoustic waves, and the processing of such waves prior to reproduction of the original sound.

A type of Greek pottery used for holding oil, especially perfume or massage oils.

An alabastron has a narrow body with a rounded end, a narrow neck and a broad mouth opening. They were often left without handles, but were equipped with ear-shaped projections in which holes were punched so strings, or narrow ropes, could be placed to make it easier for carrying.

The use of computer technology and a form of radio control to animate puppets or other models, e.g., for a movie (takes a singular verb).

A spectroscope in which the spectra of stars and other celestial objects are recorded on photographic film.

A spectroscope is an instrument for dispersing light; usually, light in the visible range, into a spectrum in order to measure it; such as, a continuous distribution of colored light produced when a beam of white light is dispersed into its components; for example, by a prism.

An accelerator in which electrons are accelerated to high energies by an electric field produced by a changing magnetic field.

An accelerator in which protons are raised to energies of several billion electron-volts by modulating the frequency of the accelerating voltage.

1. The study of the role of intermolecular transfer of electrons in biological regulation and defense.
2. The science of electronic effect and control of living organisms.

1. The interdisciplinary study of biology, mechanics, and electronics.
2. The applications of various aspects of biology, mechanics, and electronics.
3. The use of biomedical knowledge for the development and optimization of mechatronic systems.

Interactivity of biological and electromechanical devices

This covers bionics (biology for engineering) as well as biomedical engineering and its related (engineering for biology).

Biomechatronics focuses on the interactivity of biological organs (including the brain) with electromechanical devices and systems.

• Universities and research centers worldwide have taken notice of biomechatronics in light of its potential for development of advanced medical devices and life-support systems.
• Primitive biomechatronic devices have existed for quite awhile.
• The heart pacemaker and the defibrillator are examples.
• More advanced-pragmatic biometchatronic possibilities that scientists foresee in the near future include:
1. Pancreas pacemakers for diabetics.
2. Mentally controlled electronic muscle stimulators for stroke and accident survivors.
3. Cameras that can be wired into the brain allowing blind people to see.
4. Microphones that can be wired into the brain allowing deaf people to hear.

Biomechatronics.

1. A chamber with a controlled climate; used in experiments to determine the effects of environment on organisms.
2. A place in a laboratory in which temperature and several other environmental conditions can be controlled.
3. A controlled laboratory environment designed to provide uniform experimental conditions with the aim of producing uniform organisms for use in experiments.

1. A mass spectrometer, an electromagnetic apparatus for separating isotopes of uranium according to mass.

Its name is a combination of California University + tron (Cal+U+tron) in tribute to the University of California, Ernest O. Lawrence's institution and the contractor of the Los Alamos laboratory. It was developed during the Manhattan Project and was similar to the cyclotron invented by Lawrence.

2. A device that separates isotopes by ionizing the sample, accellerating the ions in a strong electric field, and then passing them through a strong magnetic field.

1. A reflecting optical glass or instrument.
2. A mirror.

1. A section of DNA that contains the genetic code for a single polypeptide and functions as a hereditary unit.
2. A segment of DNA that is involved in producing a polypeptide chain; it can include regions preceding and following the coding DNA as well as introns between the exons; it is considered a unit of heredity.

A large proton synchrotron which uses frequency modulation of an electric field to accelerate protons.

A field of engineering that studies the design and functioning of electronics systems, circuits, and devices at temperatures approaching absolute zero (0 Kelvin or -270 degrees Celsius); especially as applied to the phenomenon of superconductivity.
