Sentences with phrase «how nuclear physics»

Not exact matches

You are just trolling me, I guess, or you are completely clueless as to nuclear physics and how atoms are formed.

Knowledge of how to split the atom was the inevitable consequence of advances in physics, perhaps, but nuclear weapons were also the product of cultures that had reduced all of nature to a morally neutral technology.

The physics winner was Hans Rinderknecht; his performance at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in Cambridge explained how he uses light to trigger nuclear fusion.

Segre tells us how in 1931, at the age of 26, he had the privilege of attending a conference on nuclear physics in Rome, where he had the honour of cleaning the blackboard for Marie Curie.

The research team, which included Natalya Pugach from the Skobeltsyn Institute of Nuclear Physics, studied the interactions between superconductivity and magnetization in order to understand how to control electron spins (electron magnetic moments) and to create the new generation of electronics.

The underlying physics, describing how seismic energy travels through the ground, is virtually the same for both chemical and nuclear blasts.

The aim was to mimic the physics of a nuclear explosion by detonating chemical explosives and watching how the seismic waves radiate outward.

Using a new model of dusty galaxies developed by Richard Tuffs of the Max Planck Institute for Nuclear Physics, Driver then recalculated how much energy the dust blocks for 10,000 galaxies.

Of course, my heart is beating more for nuclear physics than any other field, and one of the main questions for me is «How many chemical elements are there?»

Today the Standard Model of particle physics organizes all the known elementary particles into these patterns (or «representations»), but it takes a combination of three Lie groups to account for how the particles can interact via three fundamental forces (electromagnetism and the strong and weak nuclear forces).

Sergey Bulat, a molecular biologist at the Petersburg Nuclear Physics Institute in St. Petersburg, and colleagues in France and Russia described how the team searched for traces of bacterial DNA in ultraclean laboratory conditions and used four sets of controls to reduce the chance of contamination.

«It's clear there is liquid water, but we're not sure how much,» says planetary scientist Frank Postberg of the Max Planck Institute for Nuclear Physics in Heidelberg, Germany, lead author of the sodium study.

In this program, now involving 23 countries, particle physicist mentors show the students how to use data gathered by the large particle collider experiments at CERN, the European Center for Nuclear Research, to unravel hidden secrets of high energy physics.

Hannah Willett of Physics at York uses the Binding Blocks chart to explain the process of nuclear fusion, and how creating «mini-suns» on earth could be an important clean energy source for the future.

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).

She didn't really understand how her physics lessons applied to the real world until she joined the first group of students sent to CERN (European Organization for Nuclear Research) to see real science at work.

How we choose to deploy these powerful technologies makes all the difference, in the financial world just as in nuclear physics.
