== Science ==
=== Chemistry and biochemistry ===
*[[Chemical synthesis]], the execution of chemical reactions to form a more complex molecule from chemical precursors
**[[Organic synthesis]], the chemical synthesis of organic compounds
***[[Total synthesis]], the complete organic synthesis of complex organic compounds, usually without the aid of biological processes
***[[Convergent synthesis]] or linear synthesis, a strategy to improve the efficiency of multi-step chemical syntheses
**[[Dehydration reaction|Dehydration synthesis]], a chemical synthesis resulting in the loss of a water molecule
*[[Biosynthesis]], the creation of an organic compound in a living organism, usually aided by enzymes
**[[Photosynthesis]], a biochemical reaction using a carbon molecule to produce an organic molecule, using sunlight as a catalyst
**[[Chemosynthesis]], the synthesis of biological compounds into organic waste, using methane or an oxidized molecule as a catalyst
**[[Amino acid synthesis]], the synthesis of an amino acid from its constituents
***[[Peptide synthesis]], the biochemical synthesis of peptides using amino acids
****[[Protein biosynthesis]], the multi-step biochemical synthesis of proteins (long peptides)
**[[DNA synthesis]], several biochemical processes for making DNA
***[[DNA replication]], DNA biosynthesis ''in vivo''
***[[Synthesis (cell cycle)]]
**[[Transcription (genetics)|RNA synthesis]], the synthesis of RNA from nucleic acids, using another nucleic acid chain as a template

===Physics===
*[[Nucleosynthesis]], the process of creating new atomic nuclei from pre-existing nucleons
*[[Kinematic synthesis]], part of the process of designing a machine to achieve its objective

=== Electronics ===
*[[Logic synthesis]], the process of converting a higher-level form of a design into a lower-level implementation
*[[High-level synthesis]], an automated design process that interprets an algorithmic description of a desired behavior and creates hardware that implements that behavior
*[[Frequency synthesizer]], an electronic system for generating any of a range of frequencies

=== Speech and sound creation ===
*[[Synthesizer|Sound synthesis]], various methods of sound generation in audio electronics
**[[Wave field synthesis]], a spatial audio rendering technique, characterized by creation of virtual acoustic environments
**[[Subtractive synthesis]], a method of creating a sound by removing harmonics, characterised by the application of an audio filter to an audio signal
**[[Frequency modulation synthesis]], a form of audio synthesis where the timbre of a simple waveform is changed by frequency modulating it with a modulating frequency that is also in the audio range
*[[Speech synthesis]], the artificial production of human speech
