Torsionassisted
Torsionassisted is an adjective used in academic literature to describe a process, mechanism, or model in which torsion contributes to or enables the outcome. The term is not anchored to a single theory and is encountered in multiple disciplines where torsion is a meaningful quantity.
In physics, torsion refers to the antisymmetric part of a spacetime connection, as in Einstein–Cartan theory,
In engineering and materials science, torsion denotes twisting deformation. A torsionassisted mechanism is one that uses
In chemistry and biophysics, torsion angles describe the twist around bonds. Torsionassisted conformational changes refer to
Terminology and scope: Torsionassisted is not a widely standardized term. It is typically used informally to
