They found that in some respects subatomic behavior could be understood in terms of particles, in other respects, waves.

To do so would require not only describing all its constituent parts, down to its subatomic particles, but also its relationships to all other things, that is, its relationship to the whole cosmos.

Birch and Cobb maintain that the ecological model is more adequate than the mechanical model for explaining DNA, the cell, other biological subject matter (as well as subatomic physics), because it holds that living things behave as they do only in interaction with other things which constitute their environment (LL 83) and because «the constituent elements of the structure at each level (of an organism) operate in patterns of interconnectedness which are not mechanical» (LL 83).

If both human occasions of experience and subatomic events are best understood as syntheses of prehensions of other events, then their relation to one another is not as puzzling as has been supposed in the modern epoch.

In a nutshell, the Higgs field is what makes some particles (like protons and neutrons) relatively heavy, others (like electrons) subatomic lightweights, and still others (like photons) utterly massless.

Solar wind creates a huge magnetic bubble, known as the heliosphere, that protects Earth and the other planets from energetic subatomic particles that constantly zip around in deep space.

«The frontiers of fundamental physics have traditionally been studied with particle colliders, such as the Large Hadron Collider at CERN, by smashing together subatomic particles at great energies,» says UCSD physicist George Fuller, who collaborated with Paris and other staff scientists at Los Alamos to develop the novel theoretical model.

Hadron A class of subatomic particles made of quarks that interact with other particles via the strong nuclear force.

Inside an 18 - foot - high, 1,200 - ton particle detector, matter and antimatter moving at nearly the speed of light smash into each other billions of times a second, shattering into subatomic debris that hasn't existed for about 14 billion years.

Rather than being a single particle, Zc (3900) could also be the subatomic equivalent of a molecule, made of two particles orbiting each other.

On atomic or subatomic scales, gravity is so weak compared with the other forces that most physicists see no problem with leaving it out of the picture.

It is a form of computing that taps into the power of atoms and subatomic phenomena to perform calculations significantly faster than current computers and could potentially lead to advances in drug development and other complex systems.

Collisions at the Large Hadron Collider might be able to knock subatomic particles into one of the other dimensions, batting them right out of our three - dimensional ballpark.

Quarks are ethereal particles that make up protons and neutrons — the building blocks of atoms — and other bits of subatomic matter.

The most energetic particles that strike us from space, which include neutrinos as well as gamma - ray photons and various other bits of subatomic shrapnel, are called cosmic rays.

They really have a strong reluctance to mingle with other particles, which makes them antisocial and difficult to pin down, but they are connected to such a wide range of phenomenon from the subatomic to the cosmic that they could tell us a lot about many different things, many different mysteries about the nature of matter, about what triggers exploding stars, to what's going on in the heart of the sun, to what the universe might have been like, the conditions within seconds after the big bang.

It states that certain properties of subatomic particles are linked such that the more precisely you know one, the less precisely you can know the other.

Once you scale up from the subatomic level, other factors disrupt transparency, like flaws in a uniform material — think of bubbles in a piece of glass.

Subatomic particles called neutrinos, on the other hand, flood out from deep in the Sun's core where they are generated in nuclear reactions.

This soup of subatomic particles, created in collisions of gold nuclei at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) at Brookhaven National Laboratory in Upton, New York, is yielding other intriguing discoveries.

Particle physicists were discovering a zoo of subatomic particles and the intricacies of the forces acting on them, yet they could not explain why some particles have mass and others, like photons, do not.

It is made of protons, neutrons and other select subatomic particles.

Across the continent, people were lining up by the millions on one side or the other of a new binary system, being told they were «positive» or «negative» as if they had turned overnight into protons and electrons and everyone spoke of subatomic physics, rather than of who was going to live and who was going to be shunned, endure terrible suffering, and die.
