Neurologists may also be involved in clinical research, clinical trials, and basic or translational research.

During purely translational motion (motion with no rotation), all points on a rigid body move with the same velocity.

Translational motions are ordinary, whole body movements in three dimensional space in which particles move about and exchange energy in collisions.

A molecular vibration occurs when atoms in a molecule are in periodic motion while the molecule as a whole has constant translational and rotational motion.

At a meeting on translational research, a senior member of a contract research organization a company that provides outsourced research services to the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries articulated the problem.

For example, it predicts that every atom of a noble gas, in thermal equilibrium at temperature T , has an average translational kinetic energy of (3 2) k B T , where k B is the Boltzmann constant.
