Every single particle in the universe — and hence every cosmic ray which may initiate a genetic mutation in an organism's DNA — falls under God's control and direction: every mutation, that is, will follow the laws of science and therefore at the very same time fulfil the sustaining intention of the Creator.

For nearly a century, physicists have explained the peculiarities of their quantum properties — such as wave - particle duality and indeterminism — by invoking an entity called the wave function, which exists in a superposition of all possible states at once right up until someone observes it, at which point it is said to «collapse» into a single state.

I realize these might be unfamiliar units by which to measure energy, so to give some perspective, it is seven times the energy of the Tevatron particle accelerator at Fermilab in Illinois, which is presently the highest - energy machine, and 15,000 times the energy contained in the mass of a single proton at rest.

In their paper, «Higgs Seesaw Mechanism as a Source for Dark Energy,» Krauss and Dent explore how a possible small coupling between the Higgs particle, and possible new particles likely to be associated with what is conventionally called the Grand Unified Scale — a scale perhaps 16 orders of magnitude smaller than the size of a proton, at which the three known non-gravitational forces in nature might converge into a single theory — could result in the existence of another background field in nature in addition to the Higgs field, which would contribute an energy density to empty space of precisely the correct scale to correspond to the observed energy density.

Each of these particles — every quantum of light at a given wavelength — carried the same amount of energy, he argued, and so dispatched a single electron with the same energetic kick.

«These findings demonstrate a single origin of gills that likely corresponds with a key stage in vertebrate evolution: when some of our earliest relatives transitioned from filtering particles out of water pumped through static bodies to actively swimming through the oceans,» says lead author Dr Andrew Gillis, a Royal Society University Research Fellow in Cambridge's Department of Zoology, and a Whitman Investigator at the Marine Biological Laboratory in Woods Hole, US.

An interdisciplinary team of scientists from KU Leuven in Belgium has developed a new technique to examine how proteins interact with each other at the level of a single HIV viral particle.

But thanks to an eerie quantum effect known as superposition — which allows an atom, electron or other particle to exist in two or more states, such as «spinning» in opposite directions at once — a single qubit made of a particle in superposition can simultaneously encompass both digits.

Because neutrinos are quantum particles, and by definition weird, they are not one single flavor at a time, but rather always a mixture of flavors.

The system uses photons — single particles of light — as the information carrier and the scheme relies on the integrated quantum circuits developed at the University of Bristol.

Daniel Smalley at Brigham Young University in Utah and his colleagues have found a way to form a 3D image using a single fast - moving particle of cellulose, trapped inside a laser beam invisible to the human eye.

But at the time of measurement, the particle has to «choose» just a single spot.

Delsing: Oh, because this is very hard to do, and you see today we have awarded a Nobel to these two guys who have taken the first steps to have control on a single system; but to make a quantum computer you would have to have the same amount of control on very many particles at the same time.

(X-Window-based Microscopy Image Processing Package) a suite of image processing programs primarily aimed at single - particle 3D electron microscopy.
