Algorithm: A set of rules or procedures for solving a problem in a series of steps. Algorithms are used in mathematics and computer programs to find solutions.
Biology: The study of living organisms. Scientists who study living organisms are called biologists.
Chemistry: The branch of science that deals with the composition, structure, properties, and interactions of matter. Scientists use this knowledge to study unknown substances, to reproduce useful substances in large quantities, and to design and create new, useful substances.
Component: Something that is part of something else (such as a component attached to an electronic circuit board or an ingredient in a cookie recipe).
Computer Science: The scientific study of the principles and uses of computers. Scientists working in this field are known as computer scientists.
Develop: Appearing or coming into existence either naturally or through human intervention such as manufacturing.
Digital: (in computer science and engineering) an adjective indicating that something has been developed numerically on a computer or other electronic device based on the binary system (where all numbers are represented using only a sequence of 0s and 1s).
Paper: A lengthy description of original research carried out during the academic process, usually submitted as the final step in qualifying for a PhD.
Field: Field of study. For example: Her field of research is biology..
Graphic: (in computers) An image or video displayed on a computer screen or other digital media.
High School: The designation for grades 9 through 12 in the U.S. compulsory education system. High school graduates may enter college or university for further education.
Interdisciplinary: An adjective describing a field of study or endeavor that pertains to or spans two or more distinct disciplines. Examples of fields that may be involved include biology, engineering, medicine, chemistry, materials science, and psychology.
Internship: A training program in which students gain advanced specialized skills by working alongside professionals. People who participate in such training programs are called interns. Some interns are in medicine, others in science, journalism, or business.
Jump to: The ability to move from one place to another.
Pandemic: An outbreak of a disease that affects a large portion of the population in many or most parts of the world.
Sensing: The state of being aware of something through the senses, or the process of becoming aware of something.
PhD: (also called a PhD) A type of advanced degree offered at a university, usually after five or six years of study, awarded for work that produces new knowledge. To be eligible to begin this type of graduate study, you must first earn a university degree (a program that usually requires four years of study).
Physically: (adjective) A term referring to something that exists in the real world, not in memory or imagination. It can also refer to properties of matter resulting from their size or non-chemical interactions (such as one block slamming into another). (In biology and medicine) The term can also refer to the body, as in a physical examination or physical activity.
Programming: (in computers) To write or modify a set of instructions, using a computer language, that makes a computer do something. A set of instructions that does this is called a computer program. The term is also used to describe the way something, such as a cell, is designed to function, as an analogy to computer programming. A person who writes or modifies software is called a programmer.
Ratio: The amount of a particular component of a mixture relative to another component. For example, if a bag contains 2 apples and 3 oranges, the ratio of apples to oranges in the bag is 2:3.
Psychologist: A scientist or mental health professional who studies the mind, especially in relation to behavior and action. Some work with human subjects. Some conduct experiments on animals (usually rodents) to see how the animal's mind responds to different stimuli or situations.
Danger: The chance or mathematical probability of something bad happening. For example, the risk of getting cancer from exposure to radiation. Or the hazard, or harm itself. (Example: Among the cancer risks people faced were radiation and arsenic-contaminated drinking water..
Robot: A machine that can sense its surrounding environment, process information, and respond with specific behavior. Some robots can operate without human input, while others follow human instructions.
Subtly: An adverb that describes something that is important but difficult to see or describe. For example, the first cellular changes that indicate the beginning of cancer may only be slightly different, small and hard to distinguish, from nearby healthy tissue.
System: A network of parts working together to accomplish some function. For example, blood, blood vessels, and the heart are the main components of the human body's circulatory system. Similarly, trains, platforms, tracks, road signals, and overpasses are some of the potential components of a country's rail system. System can also apply to a process or idea that is part of some method or set of steps to complete a task.
Individual: Something unlike any other, something unique.
Virtual: To almost resemble something. An object or concept that is virtually real is nearly true or real, but not entirely. The term is often used to refer to something that is modeled (or achieved) by a computer using numbers rather than real-world parts. Thus, a virtual motor is a motor that can be seen on a computer screen and tested by computer programming (but is not a three-dimensional device made of metal). (Computing) Something that is performed on or through digital processing and/or the Internet. For example, a virtual conference could be where people watch and participate over the Internet.
Virtual Reality: It is a three-dimensional simulation of the real world that looks very realistic and allows people to interact with it, usually by wearing special helmets or glasses equipped with sensors.
