How To Use anisotropy In A Sentence
- Data from the Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe (WMAP) can show the minute temperature changes created as the cosmic microwave background radiation moves through gases in galaxy clusters.
- Carbon Fiber Reinforced Composites ( CFRP ) is difficult to machining because of its mechanical anisotropy.
- Frequency domain anisotropy was measured by exciting the sample with the amplitude-modulated light polarized vertically.
- We examine previous claims for a preferred axis at $ (b, l) \approx (60, -100) $ in the cosmic radiation anisotropy, by generalizing the concept of multipole planarity to any shape preference (a concept we define mathematically). Science Press Release Synopses
