Sentences with phrase «tiny electrical charges»

One suggested that tiny electrical charges around the ring might be trapping dissolved coffee particles, but calculations indicated it would take hours for all of the particles to migrate to the border — much longer than the drying time.

Dark matter with a tiny electrical charge could put the brakes on pulsars, offering a new way to look for clues to the nature of the mysterious substance

Not exact matches

Unlike a black hole in space, the X-rayed atom does not draw in matter from its surroundings through the force of gravity, but electrons with its electrical charge — causing the molecule to explode within the tiniest fraction of a second.

The formation of a crack would cause a tiny movement in the concrete under a patch, causing a change in the electrical charge stored in the sensing skin, which is made of stretchable plastic mixed with titanium oxide.

Since then scientists have figured out how to drive DNA through proteins with tiny pores embedded in a film using an electrical charge.

Neutrinos are notoriously difficult to study; their tiny size and lack of electrical charge enables them to pass straight through matter without reacting.

These defects were observed by measuring tiny electrical currents created when charges that were frozen in the traps at extremely cold temperatures escape by receiving a jolt of thermal energy as the device is heated, a process called thermally stimulated current.

Neurons are somewhat like tiny batteries, needing to be charged in order to fire off an electrical impulse known as a «spike.»

Bentonite clay is made up of a high number of tiny platelets, with negative electrical charges on their flat surfaces and positive charges on their edges.

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.

The technology works on a principle called electrowetting, in which each pixel on the screen consists of tiny capsules of an oil that respond to electrical charge.

E-ink pixels are made of a bunch of capsules, and inside each are a bunch of tiny pigmented microcapsules that are pulled around by electrical charges to form an all - black or all - white surface.
