Sentences with phrase «small atoms»

In addition to the possibility of using these cages for trapping small atoms and molecules and study them in confinement, the presence of Ar atoms within the cages affects the passage of small molecules through the 0.5 nm thick two - dimensional framework, allowing the reversible tuning of the permeability of the smallest molecular sieve ever reported.

Nuclear fusion joins small atoms like hydrogen, releasing huge amounts of energy in the process.

Because very big atoms are highly unstable, they almost immediately break apart and decay into smaller atoms — stuff like platinum, gold, silver, and europium.

When heavy atoms fission and release energy, the two smaller atoms remaining (called fission products) are often left with some extra energy to give off.

Perhaps God will eventually be discovered to be just two very small atoms.

«In addition to trapping small atoms, the cages could be used as molecular sieves for filtering carbon monoxide and other small molecules, such as hydrogen and oxygen,» said first author Jian - Qiang Zhong, a CFN research associate.

its that simple he created everything from the small atoms to the universe.

If an intelligence, at a given instant, knew all the forces that animate nature and the position of each constituent being; if, moreover, this intelligence were sufficiently great to submit these data to analysis, it could embrace in the same formula the movements of the greatest bodies of the universe and those of the smallest atoms: to this intelligence nothing would be uncertain, and the future, as the past, would be present to its eyes.

The membrane allows only water to pass through, but no other solvents, «not even helium atoms, which are the smallest atoms,» he explains.

A single sheet of graphene resembles atomically thin chicken wire and is composed of carbon atoms joined in a pattern that makes the material extremely tough and impervious to even the smallest atom, helium.

They rely on harnessing nuclear fission — the splitting of an atom into two smaller atoms, which also yields heat and sends neutrons flying.

One by one the larger gold atoms displace the smaller atoms of free silver on the surface, creating more contrast.

If you want to keep your neutrons moving quickly, you don't want any small atoms around, so you choose a heavier coolant, like sodium (imagine a billiard ball striking a bowling ball).

To get at the basics, they study a simpler interaction: water and ions, small atoms or molecules that have a slight electrical charge and exist everywhere in nature.

not the smallest atom stirs or lives on matter, but has its cunning duplicate in mind.»
