Not exact matches

The study of subatomic entities could not be made to fit with the existing scientific worldview.

In itself this would have had minor philosophical consequences if the subatomic entities could be understood as smaller exemplars of the sorts of entities that physicists had been studying.

They could not say whether the subatomic entities were waves or particles, and since a wave can not be a particle or a particle a wave, they recognized they had no idea of the actual nature of what they studied.

This ultimately led to Heisenberg's formulation of the uncertainty principle, whereby the action of an electron or proton can be only approximately predicted; moreover, subatomic realities can not be known in themselves since any introduction of a gamma ray to study their position or speed affects their position and speed.

When it comes to the highest energy cosmic rays — subatomic particles raining in from space — the sky is lopsided: More come from one direction than the other, according to a new study.

«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.

But there are many different reasons for studying neutrinos from the cosmic to the subatomic, and the prospect of finding new physics is among the most exciting for the physicists.

Johnson, who specializes in the study of complexity, is one of a new breed of physicists turning their analytical acumen away from subatomic particles and toward a bewildering array of more immediate human problems, from traffic management to urban planning.

The images used in this study — relevant to particle - collider nuclear physics experiments at Brookhaven National Laboratory's Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider and CERN's Large Hadron Collider — recreate the conditions of a subatomic particle «soup,» which is a superhot fluid state known as the quark - gluon plasma believed to exist just millionths of a second after the birth of the universe.

Chargeless, nearly massless and rarely seen interacting with matter, the subatomic particles known as neutrinos have proved exasperatingly difficult to study.

Their government has given the green light and $ 235 million funding to build the India - based Neutrino Observatory (INO), the country's first underground laboratory to study the weakly interacting, nearly massless subatomic particles.

In addition, it allows the study of subatomic particles at energies far greater than those seen in ground - based particle accelerators, providing deeper insights into the evolution of the Universe.

Studies have repeatedly shown that there is a clear linkage between subatomic states and observation by conscious observers, but what this linkage is remains unknown.

Foregrounding their conditions of presentation, ownership, reception, and provenance, artworks, artifacts, and their passage through time and narrative discourses are played off the figure of the cloud chamber — an early twentieth century device that used water vapor to mark the movement of subatomic particles, and which laid the ground for the study of particle physics by photographing the patterns these movements produced.
