Greenland halibut

The Greenland halibut or Greenland turbot (Reinhardtius hippoglossoides) is part of the Pleuronectidae family and is the only species of the genus Reinhardtius.

It is a deep water fish, ranging between about , and is found in the northern Atlantic and northern Pacific Ocean.

The Greenland halibut is a flatfish, and the left eye has migrated during the fish's development so that it is on the right side of the head.

This fish is used for food and is caught mostly by trawling. Greenpeace thinks the fishery is unsustainable and has added the Greenland halibut to its seafood red list. This designation is widely considered to be based upon limited and unverifiable data.

Statistical physics

Statistical physics is a branch of physics. It uses probability theory, statistics, and mathematical tools  to solve certain physical problems. It can describe fields where objects or events seem to be random. It can be used for problems in physics, biology, chemistry, neurology, and even some social sciences, such as sociology. 

Its main purpose is to explain the properties of matter in total, by physical laws governing atomic motion. It was first used in physics to study how particles or objects moved when subjected to a force.

Examples of its use include explaining and quantitatively describing superconductivity, superfluidity, turbulence, and plasma, and the structural features of a liquid. It is widely used in modern astrophysics.

Outfield assist

In baseball, an outfield assist occurs when an outfielder throws out a baserunner somewhere along the base paths, often at one of the bases.  The most famous examples of outfield assists are plays made at home plate (plays at the plate), when the outfielder throws the ball to the catcher or other defensive player guarding home plate, and the defensive player then successfully tags out the baserunner who is trying to score.

Biofilm

A biofilm is any group of microorganisms which stick to cell surfaces.

These sticky cells create a slimy layer outside the cells of the body. The cells in the biofilm produce  extracellular polysaccharides, proteins, lipids and DNA. Because they have three-dimensional structure they are a community lifestyle for microorganisms. They have been metaphorically described as "cities for microbes".

The biofilm bacteria can share nutrients and are sheltered from harmful factors in their local environment, such as desiccation, antibiotics, and the host's immune system. The film of bacteria which live on your teeth are an example. Biofilms also form on inorganic objects like stones in water.
