	Adamant Adamant in classical mythology is an archaic form of diamond. In fact, the English word ''diamond'' is ultimately derived from ''adamas'', via Late Latin and Old French . In ancient Greek (), genitive (), literally 'unconquerable, untameable'. In those days, the qualities of hard metal (probably steel) were attributed to it, and ''adamant'' became an independent concept as a result. In the Middle Ages adamant also became confused with the magnetic rock lodestone, and a folk etymology connected it with the Latin , 'to love or be attached to'. Another connection was the belief that adamant (the diamond definition) could block the effects of a magnet. This was addressed in chapter III of ''Pseudodoxia Epidemica'', for instance. Since the contemporary word ''diamond'' is now used for the hardest gemstone, the increasingly archaic noun ''adamant'' has been reduced to mostly poetic or anachronistic use. In that capacity, the name, and various derivatives of it, are frequently used i ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu]
	Adamantine (veneer) Adamantine is a veneer developed by The Celluloid Manufacturing Company of New York City, covered by U.S. Patent number 232,037, dated September 7, 1880, for the process of cementing a celluloid veneer or coating to a substrate such as a wood case. Adamantine veneer was made in black and white, and in colored patterns that simulated wood grain, onyx and marble. Expensive French mantel clocks in slate, onyx or marble cases were popular in the United States in the 1860s. American clock manufacturers produced similar looking cases made of iron or wood, known as "Black Mantel Clocks", which were popular from 1880 to 1931. Seth Thomas Clock Company The Seth Thomas Clock Company was founded by Seth Thomas in Plymouth Hollow, Connecticut, and began producing clocks in 1813. It was incorporated as the "Seth Thomas Clock Company" in 1853. Plymouth Hollow, a part of the town of Plymouth, was i ... purchased the right to use the adamantine veneer in 1881, which they called Marbaline. ...

picture info	Adamantine Lustre Lustre (Commonwealth English) or luster (American English; see spelling differences) is the way light interacts with the surface of a crystal, rock, or mineral. The word traces its origins back to the Latin ''lux'', meaning "light", and generally implies radiance, gloss, or brilliance. A range of terms are used to describe lustre, such as ''earthy'', ''metallic'', ''greasy'', and ''silky''. Similarly, the term ''vitreous'' (derived from the Latin for glass, ''vitrum'') refers to a glassy lustre. A list of these terms is given below. Lustre varies over a wide continuum, and so there are no rigid boundaries between the different types of lustre. (For this reason, different sources can often describe the same mineral differently. This ambiguity is further complicated by lustre's ability to vary widely within a particular mineral species). The terms are frequently combined to describe intermediate types of lustre (for example, a "vitreous greasy" lustre). Some minerals exhib ...

picture info	Adamantane Adamantane is an organic compound with formula C10H16 or, more descriptively, (CH)4(CH2)6. Adamantane molecules can be described as the fusion of three cyclohexane rings. The molecule is both rigid and virtually stress-free. Adamantane is the most stable isomer of C10H16. The spatial arrangement of carbon atoms in the adamantane molecule is the same as in the diamond crystal. This similarity led to the name ''adamantane'', which is derived from the Greek ''adamantinos'' (relating to steel or diamond). It is a white solid with a camphor-like odor. It is the simplest diamondoid. The discovery of adamantane in petroleum in 1933 launched a new field of chemistry dedicated to the synthesis and properties of polyhedral organic compounds. Adamantane derivatives have found practical application as drugs, polymeric materials, and thermally stable lubricants. History and synthesis In 1924, H. Decker suggested the existence of adamantane, which he called decaterpene. The first attempted l ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu]
picture info	Adamantinoma Adamantinoma () is a rare bone cancer, making up less than 1% of all bone cancers. It almost always occurs in the bones of the lower leg and involves both epithelial and osteofibrous tissue. The condition was first described by Fischer in 1913. Presentation Patients typically present with swelling with or without pain. The slow-growing tumor predominantly arises in long bones in a subcortical location (95% in the tibia or fibula). Benign osteofibrous dysplasia may be a precursor of adamantinoma or a regressive phase of adamantinoma. Histologically, islands of epithelial cells are found in a fibrous stroma. The tumor is typically well-demarcated, osteolytic and eccentric, with cystic zones resembling soap bubbles. Diagnosis X-rays of the affected area show a well defined tumour in bone, with multiple lobules giving a "soap bubble" appearance. MRI can provide a more useful guide to its severity. Treatment Treatment consists of wide resection or amputation. Metastases are ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu]
	Adamantium Adamantium is a fictional metal alloy, most famously appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. It is best known as the substance bonded to the character Wolverine's skeleton and claws. First mention in Marvel comics It was first mentioned in Marvel Comics in a story scripted by writer Roy Thomas and drawn by Barry Windsor-Smith and Syd Shores in '' The Avengers'' #66 (July 1969). Here, it is part of supervillain Ultron's outer shell. In the stories where it appears, the defining quality of adamantium is its indestructibility. Etymology The word is a pseudo-Latin neologism (real Latin: ''adamans'', from original Greek ''ἀδάμας'' indomitable ''adamantem'' atin accusative based on the English noun and adjective '' adamant'' (and the derived adjective ''adamantine'') added to the neo-Latin suffix " -ium". The adjective ''adamant'' has long been used to refer to the property of impregnable, diamond-like hardness, or to describe a firm/resolute positio ...
