“…The 'changed quantization' of 1928 and 1931 became widely known as 'hybridization' by the late 1930s." 38 Without going into further details it is obvious that in this case the terms were borrowed from much earlier usage, namely from farmers' breeding of animals. The chemists simply adopted a familiar terminology which they extended to a new area of atomic and molecular chemistry.…”

The vocabulary of the chemical sciences consists in part of words and phrases many of which are of a technical nature while others are derived from or related to everyday language. Many of the words are so-called polysemes, that is, they are used with different meanings either in common language or in the technical language of other sciences. The study of the origin and migration (or transfer) of words in science provides additional insights in how science has developed historically and interacted with the cultural domain. One type of word migration is between the scientific and socio-cultural domains, while another is restricted to the transfer between different scientific disciplines or sub-disciplines. This paper discusses and exemplifies a select number of chemically related words and phrases from a historical perspective. Among them are commonly known words such as ‘radical,’ ‘catalyze,’ and ‘litmus test’ which are used not only as technical terms in chemistry but also, in figurative and metaphorical senses, in everyday language.

“…Two main outcomes of those studies were his conclusions that neither environmental stimuli reached the brain simultaneously nor information sent by the brain could get immediately processed into actions. Nye (2000) proceeded to summarize Linus Pauling's works because of his relevant contributions to biology, physics, and chemistry, which could describe him as an interdisciplinary researcher. An example of that was his discovery in quantum physics of energy resonance for which Pauling found much broader application in chemistry.…”

Este artigo é resultado de uma extensa revisão de literatura sobre física aplicada à medicina em 41 revistas CAPES Qualis A1, A2 e B1, 15 destas são brasileiras e 26 internacionais, entre os anos 2000 e 2012. Esta revisão mostrou que esta área de investigação é pouco explorada uma vez que apenas 51 artigos abordam este tema, 24 em periódicos brasileiros e 27 em periódicos internacionais. Nenhum deles usou enfoque epistemológico e apenas um estava embasado em uma teoria de aprendizagem. A maioria destes artigos (29) foram escritos por profissionais que não estavam relacionados à área da educação, o que pode explicar a falta de referenciais epistemológicos e teóricos. A física aplicada à medicina oferece um grande potencial para o ensino de conteúdos de física, pois situações relacionadas à saúde podem ser usadas para ajudar os alunos a dar mais significado para conceitos físicos. Assim, estudos adicionais com base em teorias de aprendizagem e visões epistemológicas da ciência são necessários e seu foco deve ser a investigação aplicada, de modo a envolver a produção de materiais potencialmente significativos para ajudar os alunos a alcançar a aprendizagem significativa em físicaA LITERATURE REVIEW ON APPLIED PHYSICS IN MEDICINE IN THE CONTEXT OF TEACHING
