Wedge politics involves treating Aristotle's "Law of the Excluded Middle" as universal. If one side of an issue is right, then the other must be wrong—there is no in-between. Controversial topics like abortion, gun control, or confederate statues are polarizing, forcing people to choose a side, for or against. 3, record 1, English, - wedge%20issue%20politics

Nanocrystals are aggregates of anywhere from a few hundred to tens of thousands of atoms that combine into a crystalline form of matter known as a ’cluster’. Typically around 10 nm in diameter, nanocrystals are larger than molecules but smaller than bulk solids and therefore frequently exhibit physical and chemical properties somewhere in-between. Nanocrystals are believed to have potential in optical electronics because of their ability to change the wavelength of light. 2, record 2, English, - nanocrystal

Un nanocristal (ou particule quantique, ou quantum dot, ou encore qdot) est un cristal semi-conducteur d'un diamètre de quelques nanomètres. À cause de sa petite taille, il se comporte comme un puits de potentiel qui confine les électrons dans trois dimensions, dans une région d'une taille de l'ordre de la longueur d'onde des électrons [...], soit quelques nanomètres dans un semi-conducteur. Ils sont à comparer aux fils quantiques (en 2 dimensions) et aux puits quantiques en 1 dimension. À cause du confinement, les électrons du nanocristal ont des niveaux d'énergie discrets et quantifiés, de façon similaire à un atome. Pour cette raison les nanocristaux sont parfois appelés «atomes artificiels». Les niveaux d'énergie peuvent être contrôlés par le changement de la taille et de la forme du nanocristal, ainsi que par la profondeur du potentiel. 3, record 2, French, - nanocristal

La fibre Nomex Omega [marque déposée] de DuPont vient s'ajouter à la famille des méta-aramides (Nomex) et para-aramides (Kevlar). [...] Le Nomex Omega réagit à la présence de hauts niveaux de chaleur radiante ou au contact d'une flamme vive; le polymère aramide se réoriente et la fibre se met à s'allonger dans le plan du tissu. [...] Dans le cas de vêtements de protection multicouches (une couche extérieure écran, une barrière imper-respirante et une couche isolante à l'intérieur), l'allongement du tissu écran en Nomex Omega provoqué par la chaleur forme un ballon qui emprisonne une couche d'air entre la couche écran et la membrane imper-respirante. Cette couche d'air supplémentaire augmente la protection thermique du vêtement de façon très sensible. 1, record 12, French, - v%C3%AAtements%20de%20protection%20multicouches
