Not exact matches

Electric fields inside this tunnel will accelerate two beams of protons (which belong to a class of particles called hadrons, hence the collider's name) as they go round and round, more than 10,000 times each second.

In their paper, «Higgs Seesaw Mechanism as a Source for Dark Energy,» Krauss and Dent explore how a possible small coupling between the Higgs particle, and possible new particles likely to be associated with what is conventionally called the Grand Unified Scale — a scale perhaps 16 orders of magnitude smaller than the size of a proton, at which the three known non-gravitational forces in nature might converge into a single theory — could result in the existence of another background field in nature in addition to the Higgs field, which would contribute an energy density to empty space of precisely the correct scale to correspond to the observed energy density.

Our understanding of the structure of matter was revolutionized in 1964 when American physicist, Murray Gell - Mann, proposed that a category of particles known as baryons, which includes protons and neutrons, are composed of three fractionally charged objects called quarks, and that another category, mesons, are formed of quark - antiquark pairs.

In 2008 americans spent more than $ 14 billion on heartburn treatments called proton pump inhibitors — such as Nexium, Prevacid and Protonix — making them second only to lipid regulators as the best - selling drug class in the country.

More important, a convergence of observations suggests that cosmic neutrinos spring from the same astrophysical sources as other particles from space: highly energetic photons called gamma rays, and mysterious ultra-high energy cosmic rays — protons and heavier atomic nuclei that reach energies a million times higher than humans have achieved with particle accelerators.

And just as protons, neutrons and electrons combine to form atoms and matter, antiprotons, antineutrons and anti-electrons (called positrons) combine to form anti-atoms and antimatter.

The difference in the concentration of protons across these two environments enabled protons to flow into the cell, driving the production of a molecule called adenosine triphosphate (ATP) which powered the growth of cells, just as it does today.

The scientists used a chemical detection device called a proton - transfer reaction mass spectrometer to, for the first time, track the odors emitted by flowers in the wild just as moths might encounter them.

«We are trying to engage the nuclear energy community as we design a high - power proton accelerator, called Project - X.»

As STAR collaborator Salvatore Fazio explained, the RHIC physicists do it by measuring the number, trajectory, and energy level of particles called W bosons that emerge from RHIC's collisions of polarized protons.

Other strongly interacting particles, in addition to protons and neutrons, can theoretically be bound in a nucleus as well, such as so - called hyperons that are also known as «strange» neutrons.

There, «magic numbers» — as normally dour physicists call them — of protons and neutrons should play together nicely, making for a more stable nucleus.

Russell has since embellished his theory, adding that a mineral called green rust, which can form in vent chimneys, can exploit the flow of protons at a vent in much the same way as ATP synthase.

Protons are essentially accumulations of even smaller subatomic particles called quarks and gluons, which are bound together by interactions known in physics parlance as the strong force.

For example, millions of Americans are taking acid - blocking drugs called PPIs (also known as proton - pump inhibitors).

These are called H - 2 antagonists (Tagamet, etc.) and Proton - pump inhibitors (Prilosec, etc.) Do not give these medications to your ferret other than as your veterinarian suggests them.

You see, Nexium belongs to a group of drugs called proton pump inhibitors that are used to treat symptoms of heart burn and gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), as well as being used to promote the healing of erosive esophagitis and prevent gastric ulcers caused by infection with helicobacter pylori in addition to treating more serious conditions such as Zollinger - Ellison syndrome.
