Louis Eugene Felix Neel was a French physicist who was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1970 for his pioneering work on the properties and behavior of magnetic materials such as antiferromagnetic and ferrimagnetic substances, and for discovering a new state of matter, the Neel temperature. His innovative theories and experiments greatly expanded understanding in the field of magnetism and significantly contributed to the development of computer memory technology.

The term City of Brotherly Love is a nickname for the city of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, in the United States. This nickname comes from the literal meaning of the citys name in Greek: ‘philos’ which means love, and ‘adelphos’ which means brother. So it denotes a place marked by mutual support, solidarity, friendliness, and love among its inhabitants. It does not mean that all residents always exhibit these behaviors, but the phrase generally encapsulates the citys historical and cultural identity.

It is often prescribed to people at risk of developing pancreatic problems or cardiovascular diseases due to high triglyceride levels. This drug works by decreasing the amount of fat produced by the liver.

A genus of basidiomycetous fungi, family POLYPORACEAE, order POLYPORALES, that grows on logs or tree stumps in shelflike layers.

Genus Mobula, also known as Mobula rays or devil rays, is a genus of rays in the family Mobulidae found worldwide in tropical and temperate seas. This group of large rays is characterized by their pointed pectoral fins and heads that appear distinctly separate from their bodies. Most species in the genus Mobula are pelagic, meaning they live in the open ocean rather than close to the coast. They are known for their acrobatic breaching behaviors, jumping out of the water, possibly as a way to communicate or remove parasites.
