Sentences with phrase «into types of particles»

At the highest energies, matter is smashed to smithereens, leaving behind fragments and energy that transform themselves into types of particles never seen before.

Not exact matches

These types of formula milk have proteins broken down into smaller particles, which are easy to digest by the babies.

The types of molecules became less well - mixed as the spacecraft looked deeper into Saturn's atmosphere, which is what would happen if the particles came from the rings and sank at different speeds.

«The traditional way to deliver drugs to tumors is to put the drug inside some type of nanoparticle and inject those particles into the bloodstream,» said Jian Yang, professor of biomedical engineering, Penn State.

If the universe didn't play favorites, kaons and antikaons should have decayed at exactly the same rate, into exactly the same types of particles.

A sudden phase transition — like water flashing into steam — may have spat out dense, heavy particles made of three types of quarks.

That means they can not undergo the type of collisions that dissipate energy (or hardly any collisions at all) the way ordinary particles do, primarily turning kinetic energy into electromagnetic energy, in the form of photons.

«Our model shows a way to understand why these three types of cosmic messenger particles have a surprisingly similar amount of power input into the universe, despite the fact that they are observed by space - based and ground - based detectors over ten orders of magnitude in individual particle energy,» said Kohta Murase, assistant professor of physics and astronomy and astrophysics at Penn State.

Thanks to Albert Einstein's E = mc2, some of that collision energy turns into rare, heavy particles that almost immediately decay into hundreds of more mundane particles (of which many dozens of different types are known).

[3] Quarks are bound by the strong interaction into one of two types of particles: baryons, such as the proton, are composed of three quarks; mesons are composed of one quark and one anti-quark, where an anti-quark is the antimatter version of a quark.

Hardly interacting with other matter, neutrinos come in the three different types — electron, muon, and tau — and the winners of this year's prize showed that the three types can morph into one another as the particles zip along at near - light speed.

In addition to these particles, there are heavier particles, which don't appear in ordinary matter because there's so heavy; they're unstable and they decay into the particle's I mentioned — electrons, neutrinos and the two lightest types of quarks.

When cosmic rays — spacefaring protons or atomic nuclei — smash into the atmosphere at ultrahigh energies, they launch a cascade of many other types of particles, including muons.

After spending months translating the nuclear physics finding into the language of particle physics and ensuring that no particle physics experiments contradicted it, the Irvine team determined that the beryllium - 8 anomaly is «beautifully» explained by the presence of a previously unknown «vector boson» — a type of particle that would wield a little - felt fifth force of nature.

This study provides new insights into the evolution and behavior of a less studied type of particle, called «brown carbon.»

Much more interesting are the three distinct types of mineral flow across the landscape, produced by the movement of ice - rich material, landslides or blankets of ejected particles following impact into ice - rich material.

The membrane of the small intestine allows only very small nutrients and fats, proteins and starches which are all broken down to very small particles to enter into the bloodstream, while the larger molecules and many different types of toxic compounds are kept out.

Volcanic events and some types of human - made pollution, both of which inject sunlight - reflecting aerosols (i.e., tiny particles) into the atmosphere, lower temperature and are examples of forcings that drive decreases in temperature.

Kok's work, which focused on a type of airborne particle called mineral dust, also suggests that there may be several times more dust particles pumped into the atmosphere than previously believed, since shattered dust appears to produce an unexpectedly high number of large fragments.

Typical temperature - supersaturation regions can be identified for the «onset» of ice nucleation of these different particle types, but the various particle sizes and activated fractions reported in different studies have to be taken into account when comparing results obtained with different methodologies.
