Rayon, also called viscose [1] and commercialised in some countries as sabra silk or cactus silk, [2] is a semi-synthetic fiber, [3] made from natural sources of regenerated cellulose, such as wood and related agricultural products. [4] It has the same molecular structure as cellulose. Many types and grades of viscose fibers and films exist.
The Bell X-2 (nicknamed "Starbuster" [1]) was an X-plane research aircraft built to investigate flight characteristics in the Mach 2–3 range. The X-2 was a rocket-powered, swept-wing research aircraft developed jointly in 1945 by Bell Aircraft Corporation, the United States Air Force and the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics (NACA) to explore aerodynamic problems of supersonic ...

List of refractive indices. Refraction at interface. Many materials have a well-characterized refractive index, but these indices often depend strongly upon the frequency of light, causing optical dispersion. Standard refractive index measurements are taken at the "yellow doublet" sodium D line, with a wavelength (λ) of 589 nanometers .
