Sentences with phrase «tiny black particles»

Black carbon, or soot, is made of the tiny black particles released from fires and dirty diesel vehicles.

It works by applying an electrical charge to millions of tiny black particles, causing them to freeze in a pattern of letters or grayscale images.

Not exact matches

from the tiniest proton particle, to the biggest black hole!

Most carbon emissions linked to human activity are in the form of carbon dioxide gas (CO2), but other forms of carbon include the methane gas (CH4) and the particles generated by such fires — the tiny bits of soot, called black carbon, and motes of associated substances known as brown carbon.

Physicists will observe the collisions not only for clues to fundamental constituents of matter, hidden dimensions, and the elusive Higgs boson — the hypothetical particle that gives matter its heft — but also for tiny black holes winking in and out of existence.

«Nanoparticulate carbon black particles tiny culprits that start emphysema.»

«It appears to be a transparent mineral grain,» Brownlee explains, though the majority of particles look like tiny black rocks.

This bizarre connection between massive black holes and tiny elementary particles such as quarks and electrons is the latest result of string theory, a speculative idea which views all elementary particles as minuscule loops of string - like matter.

One high - profile target, he says, should be reducing emissions of tiny soot particles, known as black carbon, that don't last long in the atmosphere but have an outsize impact on warming.

For example, if a black hole is modelled according to string theory — in which the universe is made of tiny, vibrating strings rather than point - like particles — there are pretty convincing arguments that say information can get out, according to Joseph Polchinski from the University of California in Santa Barbara, US.

E-Ink's Vizplex products use electrophoretic technology, in which tiny microcapsules containing even tinier black and white particles suspended in fluid are sealed into a film that is in turn laminated to a sheet of electronic circuitry.

For those who aren't familiar with how it works, E Ink relies on tiny capsules containing both a clear liquid and black and white ink particles, which are electrically charged.

While this is perfect for creating resilient monochrome and even grayscale images, where teeny - tiny black and white particles arrange in different distances to the surface of the display to form an image, it poses a problem when trying to show things in color.

Building on the work from the 1970s, the display used electric charge to rotate black and white ink particles inside tiny capsules located in the screen.

In much the same way the tiny particles of an EPD will either be reflective or non-reflective (that is, black or white).

Like other tiny atmospheric particles called aerosols, black carbon (BC) has a short lifetime in the atmosphere of about a week because it is removed by rain or snow.

A third effect occurs when black carbon (BC) particles land on snow, and the tiny specks of dark material in the upper snow layers absorb heat from the sun and promote melting.

Black carbon — tiny soot particles released into the atmosphere by burning fuels — has been linked to adverse health and environmental impacts through decades of scientific research.
