In gemology, chatoyancy (/ʃəˈtɔɪ.ənsi/ "shə-TOY-ən-see"), also called chatoyance or the cat's eye effect, is an optical reflectance effect seen in certain gemstones, woods, and carbon fiber. Chatoyancy in wood occurs in various species – particularly hardwoods and the various types of Nanmu woods of China and South East Asia, particularly where stresses from the weight of the growing tree result in denser patches, or where stresses cause burl or "bird’s eye". This ‘figure’, which has a striking three-dimensional appearance, is highly prized by woodworkers and their clients alike, and is featured regularly in furniture, musical instruments, and other decorative wood products. Figuring takes on a variety of forms and is referred to as "flame", "ribbon", "tiger stripe", "quilting", among other names. This effect is sometimes called "wet look", since wetting wood with water often displays the chatoyancy, albeit only until the wood dries. Certain finishes cause the wood grain to become more pronounced. Oil finishes, epoxy, and shellac can strongly bring out the "wet look" effect. When the refractive index of the finish nearly matches that of the wood, light scattering no longer occurs at the wood surface, adding the appearance of depth to the wood's figure.

The UK was worried about Germany's growing naval power, leading to a costly race to build Dreadnought-class ships. This competition lasted until 1914 when World War I started. After the war, the victorious Allies began a new arms race, which was temporarily stopped by the Washington Naval Treaty. Other naval arms races. Nuclear arms race. During the Cold War, the United States and the Soviet Union (now Russia) raced to build more nuclear weapons.

Both sides worried about having fewer weapons than the other, leading to terms like the "missile gap" and "bomber gap." Proxy wars were fought in places like the Middle East, Korea, and Vietnam, where the two superpowers' conventional (non-nuclear) weapons were used against each other. After the Cold War ended with the collapse of the Soviet Union, tensions eased, and both countries reduced their nuclear arsenals. Artificial intelligence (AI) arms race.
