Excitations

/ˌɛksɪˈteɪʃənz/ noun

Definition

Plural of excitation; instances of being excited or the process of stimulating something, especially in physics and neuroscience.

Etymology

From Latin 'excitatio,' derived from 'excitare.' The '-tion' suffix indicates an action or state. In modern usage, especially in physics, it refers to electrons or atoms being raised to higher energy levels.

Kelly Says

In quantum physics, 'excitations' has a specific meaning—when electrons get enough energy to jump to higher orbits. It's the same word as the emotional feeling, but scientists borrowed it for particles doing exciting things!
