The new study finds that the supernovae are likely powered by the creation of a magnetar, an extraordinarily magnetized neutron star spinning
hundreds of times per second.
The
number of times per second that the atoms shift back and forth defines the wave's frequency, experienced by the human eardrum and brain as pitch.
With wheel position sensors monitoring motion thousands
of times per second combined with other vehicle data, changes can be made to each corner every 7 milliseconds for optimum handling performance,» added Hameedi.
Hydrogel beads bounce thousands
of times per second on a heated surface, emitting a high - pitched shriek, and generating lots of kinetic energy
In the ion crystal, the helium atoms flying at a leisurely speed collide with the magnesium hydride ions rotating about their own axis
trillions of times per second.
The challenge of «drawing tens of thousands of tiny and individual semi-transparent strands» and updating them «
dozens of times per second to synchronize with the motion of a character,» as described by the makers of TressFX has finally been tackled.
They are incredibly dense, packing about as much mass as the Sun into a sphere just 20 kilometres or so across, and some rotate
hundreds of times per second.
Although the pitch depends on the
number of times per second the vocal cords collide — ranging from as few as 55 times per second for a low A sung by a bass, to 1,047 times per second for a soprano's high C — the refinement and articulation of the musical notes take place in the singer's throat and mouth.
With wheel position sensors monitoring motion
thousands of times per second combined with other vehicle data, changes can be made to each corner every seven milliseconds for greater handling performance.
Along with these rule changes, the rapid development of computer technology allowed upstart firms to easily set up their own trading platforms, and to court a new generation of so - called high - frequency traders, who use powerful computers and software to move in and out of positions thousands
of times per second.
And if you take a single protein such as ti.tin, assembling the components randomly even tens of thousands
of times per second and discarding each incorrect version would, in that time, completely fill the universe with the debris — a sphere of 14bn light years diameter, because you have a number so inconceivably vast it would have more than 29,000 zeroes (compared to a number with only 17 zeros for all the seconds so far since the universe began).
Pulsar timing detectors are best for sensing waves in which years pass between peaks; ground - based interferometers perk up when hit by waves oscillating hundreds
of times per second.
The implosion of the core causes it to rotate rapidly, up to hundreds
of times per second.
Modern observatories use «adaptive optics» — computer - controlled deformable mirrors that change shape thousands
of times per second — to cancel out the worst effects of atmospheric turbulence on starlight.
When energized by electrical current, the bonded layer produces light that travels through channels in the silicon to a «modulator» that flickers the light tens of billions
of times per second.
If the star were paired with another star, the pulsar may suck in matter from its companion, causing it to twirl hundreds
of times per second.
What's left is a relic containing gigantic amounts of matter packed into a very small space that can rotate hundreds
of times per second.
Ion cyclotron frequency is the number
of times per second that the electrons and ions circle around the field line.
The pulsars that spin hundreds
of times per second are thought to be the result of such a transfer.
To make matters more complicated, each neuron can fire up to hundreds
of times per second.
This suspension is able to adjust the performance of its suspension hundreds
of times per second to help keep the ride flat and responsive when cornering, accelerating or braking.
CO2 is a small fraction of the atmosphere, so the odds of it colliding with itself is small, but the actual collision rate with other gases is billions
of times per second.
To a CPU that can query all its sensors thousands
of times per second, everything appears to be happening in slow motion, so if the software is smart enough, it shouldn't be too hard to do better than humans in the vast majority of situations (of course, nothing is perfect).
This one's called ProMotion, and it doubles the number
of times per second an image can be refreshed on the the iPad Pro's display.
It can measure heart rate through green LED lights that flash hundreds
of times per second.
