A sequence of logical instructions that solves a problem or accomplishes a task. Algorithms are the foundation of computer programming.
A branch of astronomy that studies the physical properties of celestial objects (stars, planets, galaxies, etc.) and the phenomena that occur within them.
The science that studies living organisms, their structure, functioning, evolution, and interactions with the environment.
The science that studies the crystalline structure of materials. Uses X-ray diffraction to determine the arrangement of atoms.
A scientific technique using X-rays to analyze the structure of crystals and molecules. Essential for understanding the composition of materials at the atomic level.
The phenomenon of systematic erasure of female scientists' contributions from official history. The term was created by science historian Margaret Rossiter in reference to Matilda Joslyn Gage, a 19th century feminist who denounced this phenomenon.
The science and technique of information processing, especially through computers. A field that includes programming, algorithms, and computing systems.
A field of computer science aimed at creating machines capable of simulating human intelligence. Includes machine learning, pattern recognition, and decision-making.
The process by which the contributions or achievements of a person (often women) are forgotten, minimized, or attributed to someone else.
The science that studies numbers, shapes, and structures. Fundamental to programming, physics, and many other scientific fields.
Rapidly rotating neutron stars that emit electromagnetic waves. Discovered by Jocelyn Bell Burnell in 1967, they are fascinating astronomical objects still studied today.
Preconceived generalizations about the abilities or roles of women and men. They constitute major obstacles to equality in science.
A coherent set of explanations and scientific principles that allow understanding and predicting natural phenomena. Based on observation and experimentation.
A communication technique aimed at making complex science accessible to the general public, using simple language and concrete examples.
