Sentences with phrase «other magnetic particles»

Because neutrons are microscopic magnets that carry no charge, they can be used to interact with and excite other magnetic particles in the system without compromising the integrity of the material's atomic structure.

Not exact matches

The resulting interaction converted magnetic energy into kinetic energy and sent charged particles such as cosmic rays raining down on Earth's magnetosphere, the region around Earth where its own magnetic field is stronger than other magnetic fields in space.

Schwadron and colleagues solved the discrepancies using triangulation of four different datasets gathered by other spacecraft, including the Interstellar Boundary Explorer (IBEX) mission that in 2009 discovered a mysterious «ribbon» of energy and particles believed to be associated with the interstellar magnetic field.

Surrounding the sun is a vast atmosphere of solar particles, through which magnetic fields swarm, solar flares erupt, and gigantic columns of material rise, fall and jostle each other around.

The earth's magnetic field performs important functions: it protects us, for example, from charged particles from space and enables migratory birds, bees, and other animals to navigate.

And unlike many other subatomic particles, neutrinos have no charge, so they travel in a straight line from their source without being deflected by the magnetic fields around stars.

When subjected to a magnetic field, the materials containing the particle act as insulators for current applied in some directions and as conductors for current applied in other directions.

The Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer has already cataloged more than 60 billion protons, electrons and other spaceborne subatomic particles, known as cosmic rays, as they zip by.

After ruling out all other possibilities, they figured out that the dip was from a phenomenon called cyclotron resonance scattering, which occurs when charged particles — either positively charged protons or negatively charged electrons — circle around in a magnetic field.

Due to the approximate alignment of the magnetic axis with the rotation axis, the energetic particle losses due to the moons are expected to be much more pronounced than the ones in the other outer planets (Roussos et al. 2007).

As protons, electrons and other charged particles from interstellar gas bounce around in the magnetic fields, they're accelerated to blinding speeds to create cosmic rays.

There are two main theoretical models, one based on small magnetite particles that may reorient in an external magnetic field and the other based on the idea that upon photo excitation a certain type of molecules in the eye of a bird support a radical pair formed by two electrons which evolve under the joint action of the Zeeman interaction with the external magnetic field and the hyperfine interaction with the supporting molecule.
