ScienceEdit

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 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)
- RNA synthesis, the synthesis of RNA from nucleic acids, using another nucleic acid chain as a template
- ATP synthesis, the biochemical synthesis of ATP

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

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

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

In philosophy, the end result of a dialectic, as in thesis, antithesis, synthesis
A cognitive skill, in Benjamin Bloom's Taxonomy of Educational Objectives
In philosophy and science, a higher a priori process than analysis
in linguistics, a scale denoting the average ratio of morphemes to words; see synthetic language
In law, the process of condensing and combining large quantities of information

Synthesis anarchism, a form of anarchist organization which tries to join anarchists of different tendencies
Synthesis (clothing), a garment or outfit worn in ancient Rome for dining or special occasions
Synthesis, a 1974 Indian short animated film by A. R. Sen and B. R. Dohling, winner of the National Film Award for Best Non-Feature Animation Film
Synthesis (journal), a journal of chemical synthesis
Program synthesis, a task in computer science to automatically generate programs from a formal specification
