Disque optiquethumb|right|CD en vrac. Dans les domaines de l'informatique, de l'audio et de la vidéo, un disque optique, aussi appelé disque optique numérique ou DON, est un disque plat servant de support de stockage amovible. Un disque optique est habituellement constitué de polycarbonate. En informatique, les disques optiques sont utilisés comme mémoires de masse. La norme ISO 9660 définit le système de fichiers utilisé sur les CD-ROM et DVD-ROM. Les CD, les DVD et les Blu-ray sont les disques optiques les plus connus.
Digital compositingDigital compositing is the process of digitally assembling multiple to make a final image, typically for print, motion pictures or screen display. It is the digital analogue of optical film compositing. The basic operation used in digital compositing is known as alpha blending, where an opacity value, 'α', is used to control the proportions of two input pixel values that end up a single output pixel. As a simple example, suppose two images of the same size are available and they are to be composited.
Interface and colloid scienceInterface and colloid science is an interdisciplinary intersection of branches of chemistry, physics, nanoscience and other fields dealing with colloids, heterogeneous systems consisting of a mechanical mixture of particles between 1 nm and 1000 nm dispersed in a continuous medium. A colloidal solution is a heterogeneous mixture in which the particle size of the substance is intermediate between a true solution and a suspension, i.e. between 1–1000 nm. Smoke from a fire is an example of a colloidal system in which tiny particles of solid float in air.
