Sentences with phrase «describing subatomic particles»

Devised by Austrian physicist Erwin Schrödinger in 1925, it describes subatomic particles and how they may display wavelike properties such as interference.

Not exact matches

And yet, many decades later, quaternions were put to use to describe properties of subatomic particles such as the spin of electrons as well as the relation between neutrons and protons.

To do so would require not only describing all its constituent parts, down to its subatomic particles, but also its relationships to all other things, that is, its relationship to the whole cosmos.

We have a pretty darn good mathematical model and theory that describes the behavior electrons in elemental atoms and other subatomic particles in nature.

The theory that describes it, general relativity, assumes that space and time are smooth and continuous, whereas the underlying quantum physics that governs subatomic particles and forces is inherently discontinuous and jumpy.

With great precision, it describes all known matter — all the subatomic particles such as quarks and leptons — as well as the forces by which those particles interact with one another.

With the discovery of the Higgs boson, the last missing piece, the SM of particle physics now accounts for all known subatomic particles and correctly describes their interactions.

That fact suggests something is wrong with Standard Model equations describing symmetry between subatomic particles and their antiparticles.

The new research analyzes the plasma surrounding the pulsar by coupling Einstein's theory of relativity with quantum mechanics, which describes the motion of subatomic particles such as the atomic nuclei — or ions — and electrons in plasma.

Such fuzziness brings us back to Heisenberg's uncertainty principle, which describes how measuring the location of a subatomic particle inherently blurs its momentum and vice versa.

Although this statement seems absurd, it describes a very real behavior that subatomic particles exhibit.

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.

So the very existence of matter suggests something is wrong with Standard Model equations describing symmetry between subatomic particles and their antiparticles.

The discovery of the Higgs boson represents the final piece of the puzzle in the Standard Model of particle physics, a theory that describes how three of the four fundamental forces — electromagnetic, weak and strong nuclear forces — interact at the subatomic level (but does not include gravity).
