Sentences with phrase «how individual atoms»

I understand (to some extent) how individual atoms can radiate specific frequency spectral lines, as a result of energy level transitions of an electron in that atom.

Researcher Arun Devaraj and his colleagues at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory in Richland use an atom probe tomography system, or APT, to create an «atomic map» of how the individual atoms within a titanium alloy are arranged, and then manipulated the arrangement to form a special nanostructure — resulting in the strongest titanium alloy available today.

Quantum mechanics is also critically important for understanding how individual atoms are joined by covalent bond to form molecules.

To do this, they must precisely know how the individual atoms are arranged in these biomolecules.

«Studying argon gas trapped in two - dimensional array of tiny «cages»: Understanding how individual atoms enter and exit the nanoporous frameworks could help scientists design new materials for gas separation and nuclear waste remediation.»

This new knowledge sheds light on how individual atoms have assembled into stars, planets, and galaxies like our own, and what the future holds for these galaxies.

Not exact matches

If humans were not designed by a higher authority, how can each individual's DNA be uniquely different among the human species, especially different than the other animals; how can the life sustaining elements be constantly available and exist in exact formulations: O, H, C etc. water is always 2 atoms of Hydrogen and one atom of Oxygen; sugar, fats, grains, and any bio-chemical products can be broken down to their simplest forms of elements, but can be re-constructed with specific (not by chance) formula.

As the very title of the essay makes clear, his problematic is how to justify the existence of compound individual entities (e.g., organisms) when the ultimate entities are microscopic (cells) or submicroscopic (atoms).

Gorilla Glass's residual stress can be explained by observing how the motion of individual atoms affects the entire system of the material

A new type of laser that harnesses the energy of individual atoms reveals how light interacts with matter

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.

He says the current is probably pulling the individual atoms along electrostatically, and that this may be how nanocrystals move through all nanotubes.

But whereas an MRI subjects materials to a magnetic field and measures how the polarity of the atoms in that material change, NDP hits materials with a low - energy neutron beam and counts the different kinds of charged particles that are created when an individual neutron happens to collide with one of the atoms in the test material and annihilates it.

On this basis, it can be concluded which molecules cause reduction, when competing adsorption takes place, i.e. if several substances compete for adsorption on catalytic converters, and how individual molecules coordinate on the metal atom.

By creating a magnetic field that interacts with the nuclear spins of carbon atoms in the proteins, NMR measures a trait known as chemical shift for some of the individual atoms in the sample, which reveals how those atoms are connected.

We're smart enough to get PhD's, split atoms, build silicon microprocessors, and put a man on the moon, yet the vast majority of 1st world individuals can't figure out how to get at least lean & healthy enough to get their doctors off their ass?

I can understand how a personal conflict can arise between professional responsibility / integrity versus an environmental or social issue that the individual deems to be very important (scientists working on the atom bomb are an example here).

If they cant work out the speed of motion of the individual atom (temperature), how the hell are they going to work out the speed and motion of the atom multiplied by the number of atoms (mass) so affected?
