GN Science
In the Mobile Suit Gundam 00 universe, the organization known as Celestial Being has pioneered a systemization of the engineering and physics behind the GN Drive and its byproduct GN particles. Initially exclusive only to Celestial Being, the technology is commonplace in the narrative. According to the Mobile Suit Gundam 00P side-story, GN stands for Gundam Nucleus.
Although derived from a different source, GN particles share their effect and primary usage with Universal Century timeline Minovsky particles. GN particles are used in a variety of ways—as part of an electromagnetic stealth measure; in a physical barrier system, for use in such circumstances as atmospheric reentry; as a propellant for the GN Vernier; and as a coat that improves the cutting ability of physical blades.
Basically, all Gundams use GN Drives; however, in situations that the GN drive is unavailable for the suit, the GN Condenser will be used in place of the GN drive in extreme conditions.

Famous quotes containing the word science:
“It is impossible to dissociate language from science or science from language, because every natural science always involves three things: the sequence of phenomena on which the science is based; the abstract concepts which call these phenomena to mind; and the words in which the concepts are expressed. To call forth a concept, a word is needed; to portray a phenomenon, a concept is needed. All three mirror one and the same reality.”
—Antoine Lavoisier (1743–1794)
