London dispersion forces have been cited as an important factor in protein folding, drug–receptor interactions, and catalyst selectivities. However, careful analysis of a model system finds that the ...

Dispersion is a fundamental measure of risk and opportunity in the stock market; it measures how differently stocks are performing, or are expected to perform. The Dispersion Index was launched in ...

A singlemode optical fiber designed to reduce chromatic dispersion. The fiber core is fabricated in several layers with different refractive indices running in parallel throughout its length.
