Yang-Mills theory is a quantum field theory for nuclear binding devised by Chen Ning Yang and Robert Mills in 1953, as well as a generic term for the class of similar theories.

Ohm's law states that in a well-behaved conductor (a so-called ohmic conductor), the electric current between two points is directly proportional to the voltage (the difference of electric potential) across the two points.

The Doppler effect (also Doppler shift) is the change in the frequency or, equivalently, the period of a wave in relation to an observer who is moving relative to the source of the wave.

The law of conservation of energy states that the total energy of an isolated system remains constant; it is said to be conserved over time.

The ideal gas law, also called the general gas equation, is the equation of state of a hypothetical ideal gas.

Boyle's law, also referred to as the Boyle-Mariotte law or Mariotte's law (especially in France), is an empirical gas law that describes the relationship between pressure and volume of a confined gas.

Avogadro's law (sometimes referred to as Avogadro's hypothesis or Avogadro's principle) or Avogadro-Ampère's hypothesis is an experimental gas law relating the volume of a gas to the amount of substance of gas present.

Rainbow gravity (or "gravity's rainbow") is a theory that different wavelengths of light experience different gravity levels and are separated in the same way that a prism splits white light into the rainbow.

Spectroscopy is the field of study that measures and interprets electromagnetic spectra as it interacts with matter.

A heat engine is a system that transfers thermal energy to do mechanical or electrical work.
