This is the "microscopic" mechanism, on the scale of soil particles.

His work of the later years was focused on problems in the domain of materials science, explaining mechanical properties of solids in terms of microscopic mechanisms.

The microscopic mechanism of magnetoelectric (ME) coupling in spiral multiferroics involves spin-orbit coupling.

The rate of the microscopic mechanisms controlling the nucleation and growth of recrystallized grains depend on the annealing temperature.

This important discovery pointed to the electron-phonon interaction as the microscopic mechanism responsible for superconductivity.

Each tentacle has about 500,000 cnidocytes, containing nematocysts, a harpoon-shaped microscopic mechanism that injects venom into the victim.

The size of the effect depends on the microscopic mechanism.

Relaxation of nuclear spins requires a microscopic mechanism for a nucleus to change orientation with respect to the applied magnetic field and/or interchange energy with the surroundings (called the lattice).

Ever since the discovery of high-temperature (High T) superconductivity in the cuprate materials, scientists have worked tirelessly to understand the microscopic mechanisms responsible for its emergence.

However, the microscopic mechanisms responsible for the observed slowing of Ostwald ripening rates at increasing ethanol concentrations appears not fully understood.
