1. eels

   In electron energy loss spectroscopy (EELS) a material is exposed to a beam of electrons with a known, narrow range of kinetic energies. Some of the electrons will undergo inelastic scattering, which means that they lose energy and have their paths slightly and randomly deflected. The amount of energy loss can be measured via an electron spectrometer and interpreted in terms of what caused the energy loss. Inelastic interactions include phonon excitations, inter- and intra-band transitions, plasmon excitations, inner shell ionizations, and Cherenkov radiation. The inner-shell ionizations are particularly useful for detecting the elemental components of a material. For example, one might find that a larger-than-expected number of electrons comes through the material with 285 eV less energy than they had when they entered the material. This is approximately the amount of energy needed to remove an inner-shell electron from a carbon atom, which can be taken as evidence that there is a significant amount of carbon present in the sample. With some care, and looking at a wide range of energy losses, one can determine the types of atoms, and the numbers of atoms of each type, being struck by the beam. The scattering angle (that is, the amount that the electron's path is deflected) can also be measured, giving information about the dispersion relation of whatever material excitation caused the inelastic scattering.

1. Eels

   Eels is an American alternative rock band, formed in California in 1995 by singer/songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Mark Oliver Everett, better known as "E". Band members have changed across the years, both in the studio and on stage, making Everett the only official member for the most of the band's work. Often filled with family, death and lost love themes, Eels' music straddles a wide range of genres, which is evidenced with the peculiar musical style of every album. Since 1996, Eels has made ten major studio releases, Wonderful, Glorious being their most recent release. Eels appear on several film soundtracks, including Scream 2, American Beauty, Road Trip, Holes, The Anniversary Party, Knocked Up, Yes Man, The End of Violence, Hellboy II, Hot Fuzz, The Big White, Charlie Bartlett, Henry Poole Is Here, The Switch, Cirque du Soleil: Worlds Away 3D and the first three Shrek movies.

Examples of eels in a Sentence

1. Ken Catania:

   The first time I read von Humboldt's tale, I thought it was completely bizarre, why would the eels attack the horses instead of swimming away?

2. Ken Catania:

   So it really is a remote control in a sense of the eels' neurons activating through the electric generating organs the neurons in the prey. And so they are remotely activating their preys' muscles and essentially taking over their peripheral nervous system.

3. Andrew Kerr:

   You can get up to 100,000 glass eels into a suitcase. And if they're leaving Europe at a euro each then that's 100,000...and then at the other end, you grow them on in a pond in China and a year later that's a million. A million euros worth, japan, China, South Korea, they are all great eel eaters. But remember, they're also re-exporting them to North America and back to Europe again.

4. Chris Charalambous:

   There was no meat in the pies in the past, it was eels.

5. Neil Gemmell:

   Eels are very plentiful in the loch system - every single sampling site that we went to pretty much had eels and the sheer volume of it was a bit of a surprise, we can't exclude the possibility that there's a giant eel in Loch Ness but we don't know whether these samples we've collected are from a giant beast or just an ordinary one - so there's still this element of 'we just don't know.'.
