In further tests, researchers stimulated sensitive long hairs on the spider's legs and body — previously known to pick up near - field airflow and vibrations — which generated a response in the same neurons that fired after hearing distant sounds, providing evidence the hairs are likely detecting nanoscale air particles that become excited from a sound wave.

However, these instruments are not readily available in the developing world, so the researchers adapted the particles so they could be analyzed on paper, using an approach known as a lateral flow assay — the same technology used in pregnancy tests.

For instance, researchers often use so - called «gene guns» to fire particles coated with strands of DNA known as plasmids at large populations of cells.

To create that trigger, the researchers followed a process known as molecular evolution to develop an antibody that could be attached to the hydrogel particles to change their form when they encounter thrombin - activated fibrin.

The feat showed that the particles of light can retain a strange type of interconnectedness, known as quantum entanglement, even when flung to opposite ends of a country, researchers from China report in the June 16 Science.

The particles flow along the entire cantilever in about 100 milliseconds, so a key advance that allowed the researchers to take rapid measurements at each point along the channel was the incorporation of a control system known as a phase - locked loop (PLL).

Now that superparamagnetism is no longer restricted to minute particles that are difficult to handle, researchers can start exploring in which ways this can contribute to improving our lives.

The researchers applied a model known as a totally asymmetric simple exclusion process, commonly used to study interacting particles in physical, chemical and biological systems.

The researchers knew that this analysis could be influenced by another well - known phenomenon, the production of particle jets.

That's been a struggle: It took more than 70 years for researchers to coax frigid bosons — which, along with fermions, are the basic particles that comprise all known visible matter in the universe — into an arrangement dubbed a Bose - Einstein condensate, named for physicists Albert Einstein and Satyendra Nath Bose who predicted it in 1924.

The researchers theorize that the particle exists in a material known as tungsten ditelluride (WTe2), which the researchers liken to a «material universe» because it contains several particles, some of which exist under normal conditions in our universe and others that may exist only in these specialized types of crystals.

Join us in a discussion with leading researchers who smash together particles, dive into underground mines, and explore the edges of the known universe in search of clues to nature's dark side.

The researchers programmed powerful arrays known as neural networks to serve as a sort of hivelike digital brain in analyzing and interpreting the images of the simulated particle debris left over from the collisions.

The researchers, who include Alessandro Bruno of the University of Bari in Italy and the INFN in Bari, focused on a region known as the South Atlantic Anomaly, where Earth's inner Van Allen radiation belt comes closest to the planet's surface and the density of particles encountered by the craft would likely be the highest.

For the past few decades, researchers have essentially known what nuclei are like, and the GANIL team certainly wasn't looking to upset the status quo by finding particles that couldn't exist.

The researchers also found much higher levels of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, which are known mutagens, in particles at the polluted site, making these chemicals a leading suspect.Similar mutations have been reported in people exposed to radiation.

Knowing that such an extraordinary claim would need to be backed up, the researchers devised a thought experiment to demonstrate the simplest case in which a cosmic correlation between two particles would be obvious and testable.

The particle, known as the Majorana fermion, is prized by researchers for its potential to open the doors to new quantum computing possibilities.

To calculate the amount of fuel inside Earth by 2025, the researchers will rely on detecting some of the tiniest subatomic particles known to science — geoneutrinos.

Researchers don't yet know if the particles would affect weather (like rainfall) or how living things grow.

Researchers have long known that cosmic rays crashing into Earth's atmosphere create a spray of secondary particles such as neutrons, protons, electrons, X-rays and gamma - rays that penetrate aircraft.

Although HIV researchers knew that intracellular transmission of the virus is a 100 - to 1,000 - times more - efficient means of infection than exposure to free particles called virions, Greene and his colleagues have now shown that cell - to - cell transmission is also more likely to lead to CD4 + T cell death.

Researchers who make and study plasmonic particles generally want to know and control their reactivity, so it is crucial to be able to study many individual particles simultaneously with the best resolution of time, space and energy possible.

As part of that calculation, researchers have relied on simplifying assumptions when accounting for the temperature impacts of climate drivers other than carbon dioxide, such as tiny particles in the atmosphere known as aerosols, for example.»
