The watt (symbol: W) is the unit of power or radiant flux in the International System of Units (SI), equal to 1 joule per second or 1 kg⋅m2⋅s−3.
See Aerogel and Watt
Wavelength
In physics and mathematics, wavelength or spatial period of a wave or periodic function is the distance over which the wave's shape repeats.
William Halperin
William P. Halperin is a Canadian-American physicist, academic, and researcher.

X-ray laser
An X-ray laser can be created by several methods either in hot, dense plasmas or as a free-electron laser in an accelerator.
Zirconium dioxide
Zirconium dioxide, sometimes known as zirconia (not to be confused with zircon), is a white crystalline oxide of zirconium.
