Miroir semi-réfléchissantUn miroir semi-réfléchissant est un type de miroir dont la particularité est de ne réfléchir qu'une partie de la lumière qu'il reçoit, et de laisser passer l'autre partie (indépendamment de sa couleur, avec la technologie actuelle). En d'autres termes, il sépare un rayon incident en deux flux lumineux, l'un réfléchi, l'autre réfracté (la partie diffusée, de plus faible quantité, étant négligeable, de même que la partie absorbée, transformée en chaleur).
Nonlinear metamaterialA nonlinear metamaterial is an artificially constructed material that can exhibit properties not yet found in nature. Its response to electromagnetic radiation can be characterized by its permittivity and material permeability. The product of the permittivity and permeability results in the refractive index. Unlike natural materials, nonlinear metamaterials can produce a negative refractive index. These can also produce a more pronounced nonlinear response than naturally occurring materials.
Crowd manipulationCrowd manipulation is the intentional or unwitting use of techniques based on the principles of crowd psychology to engage, control, or influence the desires of a crowd in order to direct its behavior toward a specific action. This practice is common to religion, politics and business and can facilitate the approval or disapproval or indifference to a person, policy, or product. The ethicality of crowd manipulation is commonly questioned. Crowd manipulation differs from propaganda—although they may reinforce one another to produce a desired result.
