Does anyone know what this process is called? We all know what it is, of course, after you've processed/blended nuts for a period of time, the oils are released and you no longer have a powder but a more buttery consistency ...
It's not emulsification, I found. That's a process where 2 or more liquids are processed so that they combine together when normally they would not. Like oil and raw eggs don't combine until they're processed and the lecithin is released somehow until you get mayonnaise. I'm probably not explaining it very scientifically, but I think everyone pretty much knows this from experience. You put the oil and eggs together and they naturally separate. But process the egg and then drizzle in the oil and they "emulsify" till thick and glisteny in your blender.

Thanks. :)
