Sentences with phrase «behaves as an atom»

Not exact matches

In advancing these theories they disregard factors universally admitted by all scientists — that in the initial period of the «birth» of the universe, conditions of temperature, atmospheric pressure, radioactivity, and a host of other catalytic factors were totally different than those existing presently, including the fact that we don't know how single atoms or their components would bind and consolidate, which involved totally unknown processes and variables, as single atoms behave far differently than conglomerations of atoms.

In the physical universe, even something as huge as the sun is made up of tiny atoms, which is why it behaves the same way they do.

Still other researchers hope to use Bose - Einstein condensates — clouds of cold atoms that behave as a single quantum wave — to reach tight limits.

«When you have a tiny particle that's 10, 20 or 50 atoms across, does it still behave the same way as larger particles, or grains?

To most physicists, it is little more than a convenient way of calculating how quantum systems such as atoms should behave.

Robert Wegeng of the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory in Richland, Washington, says silver may behave as a volatile on the moon, with atoms evaporating and condensing onto the surface until they get stuck in a cold spot.

Silicon - 28 is not magnetic so the atoms had almost no effect on the magnetic moment, or nuclear spin, of the phosphorus, meaning that these atoms behaved as though they were in a vacuum.

Fashioning individual molecules atom by atom could allow researchers to study atomic collisions in the most controlled environment possible, as well as to observe how molecules behave in isolation.

Things such as tables or rocks or cows are made of so many gazillions of atoms that they don't behave in unpredictable ways.

At such temperatures, the atoms are tightly packed and behave as a single, fluid quantum object and so can be easily manipulated.

But when Danish physicist Niels Bohr showed that the electrons in atoms, too, must behave as quanta to account for observations, Einstein made a conceptual leap that troubled him even more.

Graphene, a one - atom - thick carbon sheet, has taken the world of physics by storm — in part, because its electrons behave as massless particles.

As a result, these atoms behave like little bar magnets.

Cool helium atoms close to absolute zero and they start behaving as a single quantum object rather than a group of individual atoms.

For instance, galaxies and galactic clusters behave as if they were far more massive than would be expected if they comprised only atoms and molecules, spinning faster than their observable mass would explain.

Although at these temperatures the atoms behave as waves and follow the rules of quantum mechanics, they still conserve an intrinsic property of a gas: they expand in the absence of container.

This behavior of helium is of great interest because electrons in a superconductor also behave as a superfluid, flowing without resistance from the atoms in the conductor.

Currently, the universe we live in obeys two seemingly incompatible laws — quantum mechanics, which governs the behavior of subatomic particles; and relativity, which describes how clumps of atoms, such as humans, stars and galaxies, behave.
