| RSSE | Russian spring-summer encephalitis |
| poloidal field coil | <radiobiology> In toroidal devices (e.g., tokamaks), the sets of windings which are (typically) aligned along the plasma axis and produce poloidal fields. These include ohmic heating, shaping, vertical, equilibrium, and divertor windings. (09 Oct 1997) |

| helix-coil transition | <molecular biology> A change in the structure of a nucleic acid or protein molecule from a highly ordered, complex structure to a random, chaotic structure. Also means that the protein or nucleic acid becomes denatured. (09 Oct 1997) |
| surface coil | A detector coil applied directly to a body part for high resolution imaging; often a single loop of metal. (05 Mar 2000) |
| detector coil | A coil used in magnetic resonance imaging as an antenna to record radiofrequency emissions of stimulated nuclei, e.g., body coil, head coil. (05 Mar 2000) |
| e-coil | <radiobiology> The plasma current driving (Ohmic Heating) coil in a Doublet device. Ideally the E-coil makes no magnetic field in the confinement system. (09 Oct 1997) |
