The name is derived from quinquina (kinky) and pear brandy (pear).<\/p>\n

While searching whether the name Kinky Pear already exists for a cocktail, I came across this:<\/span><\/p>\n

“Kink pairs” are a concept from materials science and crystallography, particularly in connection with dislocation theory, which describes how crystals deform.<\/span><\/p>\n

Briefly explained:
\n<\/span>– Dislocations are defects in a crystal lattice that allow materials to undergo plastic deformation (e.g. bending or stretching).
\n<\/span>– In certain materials, the movement of a dislocation through the lattice is difficult, e.g. due to energetic obstacles (known as the Peierls barrier).
\n<\/span>– Instead of moving all at once, the dislocation moves piece by piece, forming kink pairs.<\/span><\/p>\n

Okay, none of this has anything to do with our topic, but it’s still exciting.<\/p>\n
