What does OVONIC mean in Scrabble?
adjective
technical
Describing a kind of switching or storage device that uses glassy semiconductor material changing between conducting and non-conducting states.
The term was coined from the name of the inventor Stanford Ovshinsky, who studied materials that flip state quickly when an electric field passes a threshold. Such switches inspired later phase-change memory, and ovonic batteries are a related line of work on nickel-metal hydride cells. Today the word survives mostly in patents and engineering histories.
