Natural Sciences

  • Band of stability, in physics, the scatter distribution of isotopes which do not decay
  • Chemical stability, occurring when a substance is in a dynamic chemical equilibrium with its environment
  • Thermal stability of a chemical compound
  • stability of a chemical complex
  • Convective instability, a meteorological condition
  • Ecological stability, measure of the probability of a population returning quickly to a previous state, or not going extinct
  • Plasma stability, a measure of how likely a perturbation in a plasma is to be damped out

Famous quotes containing the words natural and/or sciences:

    “If we have come to think that the nursery and the kitchen are the natural sphere of a woman, we have done so exactly as English children come to think that a cage is the natural sphere of a parrot: because they have never seen one anywhere else.”
    —George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)

    “The prime lesson the social sciences can learn from the natural sciences is just this: that it is necessary to press on to find the positive conditions under which desired events take place, and that these can be just as scientifically investigated as can instances of negative correlation. This problem is beyond relativity.”
    —Ruth Benedict (1887–1948)
