A bald eagle suddenly appeared, patrolling the narrow canyon from above, while wild brown trout darted under the perfect crystal blue waters.

In a perfect crystal, this spectrum is preceded by a hydrogen-like series of the transitions to " s "-states of Wannier-Mott excitons.
23.
This means that in a perfect crystal, at 0 kelvin, nearly all molecular motion should cease in order to achieve ?S = 0.
24.
The Borrmann effect a dramatic increase in transparency to X-ray beams is observed when X-rays satisfying Bragg's law diffract through a perfect crystal.
25.
Extrapolations from the jamming transition showed that even fairly orderly materials exhibited behaviors closer to those of the anticrystal than a perfect crystal.
26.
To obtain the absolute value, we need the Third Law of Thermodynamics, which states that S = 0 at absolute zero for perfect crystals.
27.
Since homogeneous nucleation forms dislocations from perfect crystals and requires the simultaneous breaking of many bonds, the energy required for homogeneous nucleation is high.
28.
Experiments with a mirror are used to show that the moon's surface must be opaque and not a perfect crystal sphere as Simplicio believes.
29.
For example, a perfect crystal of diamond would only contain carbon atoms, but a real crystal might perhaps contain a few boron atoms as well.
30.
Critics say its scientific mandate has never been well defined, and that some specific goals, like growing near-perfect crystals in microgravity, may not be achievable.
