Chemistry and biology

• Absorption (chemistry), absorption of particles of gas or liquid in liquid or solid material
• Absorption (skin), a route by which substances can enter the body through the skin
• Absorption (pharmacokinetics), absorption of drugs in body
• Rebreather#Carbon dioxide scrubber, the absorbent in a rebreather

Physics and mechanical engineering

• Absorption (electromagnetic radiation), absorption of light or other electromagnetic radiation by a material
• Absorption (acoustics), absorption of sound waves by a material
• Dielectric absorption, a determination of how electrically permitive a material is
• Absorption refrigerator, a refrigerator that runs on surplus heat rather than electricity

Absorption, in Chemistry, is a physical or chemical Phenomenon or a process in which Atoms Molecules, or Ions enter some Absorption is a route by which substances can exit the body through the Skin. In Pharmacology (and more specifically Pharmacokinetics) absorption is the movement of a drug into the bloodstream A rebreather is a type of Breathing set that provides a Breathing gas containing Oxygen and recycled exhaled gas In Physics, absorption of electromagnetic radiation is the process by which the Energy of a Photon is taken up by matter typically the electrons of an Absorption refers to the absorption of sound waves by a material Permittivity is a Physical quantity that describes how an Electric field affects and is affected by a Dielectric medium and is determined by the ability The absorption refrigerator is a Refrigerator that utilizes a heat source (e Solar air conditioning refers to any Air conditioning (cooling system that uses Solar power. In Algebra, the absorption law is an identity linking a pair of Binary operations Any two Binary operations, say $ and % are subject to Absorption is the total demand for all final marketed Goods and services by all economic agents resident in an Economy, regardless of the origin Adsorption is a process that occurs when a gas or liquid Solute accumulates on the surface of a solid or a liquid (adsorbent forming a film of molecules or atoms (the Digestion is the breaking down of chemicals in the body into a form that can be absorbed Flow is the mental state of operation in which the person is fully immersed in what he or she is doing by a feeling of energized focus full involvement and success in the process of the
