Biology A division of organisms that ranks above a kingdom in systems of classification that are based on shared similarities in DNA sequences rather than shared structural similarities. In these systems, there are three domains: the archaea, the bacteria, and the eukaryotes.
Physics A region in a ferromagnetic substance in which the substance is magnetized with the same polarization throughout.
