Collision

Computers A garbled communication between 2 devices in a local area network (LAN) that results when both attempt to transmit data simultaneously; after colliding, each device waits for a period of time and retries; increased devices on a LAN increase the likelihood of collision
Obstetrics A mechanical obstruction to the birth of twins, such that the lay of one foetus impedes the engagement of the other; the most extreme collision is known as interlocking
Public health Road traffic accident/motor vehicle accident
Radiation physics The interaction between 2 particles—e.g., photons, atomic nuclei, electrons—during which energy, momentum, and charge may be altered

Guatemala has a more complex geologic history than previously thought by Asian News International 298 QE633 Though the Alps have been studied by generations of Earth scientists as the prototypic collisional origin, recent findings, technologies, and concepts have radically altered the understanding of their past. Tectonic aspects of the Alpine-Dinaride-Carpathian system by SciTech Book News Haumea is already the only Kuiper Belt object known to be part of a collisional family--other chunks, besides the moons, are known to have been created when a large impactor, perhaps 500 kilometers in diameter, struck the once-larger dwarf planet in the distant past, Brown says.
