  "id": "MLC-T-CHM-001494",
  "term": "Bremsstrahlung",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "Electromagnetic radiation generated when a charged particle, such as an electron, undergoes deceleration by another charged particle, typically an atomic nucleus. This process converts kinetic energy into X-rays or gamma rays. The energy spectrum of Bremsstrahlung is continuous, ranging from zero up to the maximum kinetic energy of the incident particle.",
