Tech/Engineering - Chemistry; Chem Sci/Eng | | French term or phrase: Composés dopés par leur utilisation avec des molécules énergétiques | | dopés in this case meaning Stimulated, activated, energised, altered? |
| | | English translation:Compound doped for its utilization with energetic molecules | Explanation:
In chemistry "to dope" is a technical term meaning to add "a trace impurity element that is inserted into a substance (in very low concentrations) in order to alter the electrical properties or the optical properties of the substance" (see Wikipedia "Dopant") and the French "doper" means the same. See the Linguee examples in the URL. |

| Grading comment Thanks! This is the common interpretion of the word dope, but in this connection I found it not so obvious. It could also may be have the meaning stimulated or energised by the presence of the more energetic molecules. anyhow, I ended by using the word "dopet" in Norwegian, as this imported word also can be interpreted similarly.
