This article or section needs citationsThis page or section does not adequately cite one or more of its sources, and needs attention. If you can provide references from valid resource material, feel free to edit it to add a citation or correct the data.
For the Betazoid condition, please see Betazoid phase.
The term phase can either refer to a state of matter (see Phases of Matter below), or it can refer to the phase property associated with wave mechanics. In wave mechanics, waves of the same medium which are out-of-phase will attenuate each other (in a fashion that is dependent on their other respective wave properties) by way of destructive interference. Conversely, waves which are in-phase will reinforce each other by way of constructive interference.
Phases of matter
On Earth, the first three phases to be documented were researched by the Ancient Greeks. They include:
As Human scientific knowledge developed, a fourth state was added: plasma.
Both matter and antimatter can exist in these phases.
Phase technologies
- Molecular phase inverter
- Phase cannon
- Phase device
- Phase variance
- Phasing cloaking device
- Phase discriminator
- Phase disruptor rifle
- Phase inducer
- Phase-pistol
- Phase-pulse infection
- Phase transition coil
- Phase weapon
- Phased ion cannon
- Phased polaron beam
- Primary phase coil
- Pulsed phase cannon
The term is also found in various production resources as part of the acronym for Phaser (PHASed Energy Rectification).
Interphase
Dialogue about the interphasic organisms indicates that interphase is a state out of phase. The temporal disruptor may therefore be an interphase technology.
Multiphase
- Multiphasic isotope
- Multiphasic prion
- Multiphasic probe
- Multiphasic scan
- Multiphasic bioscan
- Tomographic imaging scanner (Multiphasic resolution)
- Multiphasic shield
- Multiphase tractor beam
- Multiphasic temporal convergence
