Keyboard graph navigation: press N for concepts or E for relations; use arrow keys, Home, and End to move; Enter selects; Shift plus Enter selects and centers; plus and minus zoom; zero fits; Escape clears the selection. Use the visible viewport buttons as alternatives to dragging, wheel, and pinch gestures.
Select a concept
Select any concept, construction junction, or annotated relation by pointer, touch, search, or keyboard.
Construction junctions are diamonds. They show where multiple structures must coexist on the same carrier and satisfy compatibility conditions.
Move selected concept
Single-pointer and keyboard alternatives to dragging. Each activation moves the selected concept one step.
The finite transition region between phases in which composition, structure, free energy, electric potential, and reaction environment differ from their bulk values.
This is an authored directed relation from the source endpoint to the target endpoint.

forms electron–ion boundary
Authored explanation
An electrode establishes an interface where electronic and ionic charge, adsorption, solvent structure, reaction, and transport are coupled.
How to interpret this relation type
The source is a material constituent, structural component, or underlying quantum field whose excitation realizes the target physical system or particle. The edge label and detail must distinguish composition from field excitation; neither implies a simple classical sum of parts.
source: Describes / governs; target: Described / governed by

describes composition and reaction at phase boundaries
Authored explanation
Surface chemistry describes adsorption, interfacial structure, charge, transport, and reaction at a chemical interface, with the chosen dividing surface and operating conditions stated.
How to interpret this relation type
A theory, law, or interaction describes the behavior of the target within a stated regime. The edge detail must state important limits or qualifications.

adsorbs and changes interfacial free energy
Authored explanation
Surfactant molecules adsorb at selected interfaces and alter interfacial free energy and structure; coverage, aggregation, charge, salt, solvent, temperature, and nonequilibrium transport control the effect.
How to interpret this relation type
The source field, particle, charge, current, or interaction couples to, acts on, binds, forms, or stabilizes the target in the stated regime. The edge label and detail must identify the exact coupling, interaction, or binding claim and its qualifications.

dominates dispersed particles
Authored explanation
Colloids contain extensive interfaces whose charge, solvation, adsorption, and curvature help determine stability and aggregation.
How to interpret this relation type
The source is a material constituent, structural component, or underlying quantum field whose excitation realizes the target physical system or particle. The edge label and detail must distinguish composition from field excitation; neither implies a simple classical sum of parts.

charged electrode–electrolyte interface
Authored explanation
The electrochemical double layer is an interfacial charge and solvation structure whose model depends on potential, composition, surface, and time scale.
How to interpret this relation type
A more specific theory, model, entity class, or regime is obtained by restricting or extending the scope of a broader framework.

assigned reversible interfacial free energy per area
Authored explanation
A fluid interface has a surface or interfacial tension defined under specified temperature, pressure, composition, curvature, and dividing-surface conditions; gradients can drive nonequilibrium flow.
How to interpret this relation type
The target represents a state, property, observable, or state-dependent description associated with the source system or theory.
