"That's an incredibly stable configuration," Dr. Marcus said.
As a life-form, each human is "a distinguishable collection of matter, with – a stable configuration far from thermodynamic equilibrium".
Although the station's main switching units, which direct power to various subsystems, were running a bit hotter than normal, engineers said the laboratory was in a stable configuration.
that a certain stable configuration obtains; and (2) a type of force independently known to exist.
For this structure a distorted, stable configuration is found.
The overall effect is the moon's pull is evened out, and it's a very stable configuration over many years.
For instance, snowflakes owe their usually six-sided symmetry to the most stable configuration of ice crystals: hexagonal prisms.
Thus, the bridge configuration of TiO2/Au + NO2 is found to be the most stable configuration.
Hierarchical triples that are born in a stable configuration can become unstable as they evolve.
Less probable (stable) configuration is pair-vacancy-dimer-vacancy-pair (long "rectangle", Figure 9b).
The enhancement in the dimension can be proceeded to gain stable configuration with minimum surface energy.
