Sentences with phrase «together than electrons»

Not exact matches

These are considerably stronger than covalent bonds, held together by multiples of: +1 charges (the same charge as a proton) and the -1 charge of an electron, creating a neutral formula.

Fortunately, because quantum dots are packed together at high densities — more than 50 billion dots per square centimeter — they capture electrons and holes before the particles are lost.

This huge machine, more than five miles in diameter, is capable of blasting protons together with a colossal energy of 14 trillion electron volts; it will be able to probe distances 1/10, 000 the size of a proton, perhaps creating a zoo of exotic particles not seen since the Big Bang.

Researchers using the BaBar Detector at the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center in California have spent the past four years smashing together electrons and their antimatter counterparts — positrons — to explore one of the greatest mysteries in the universe: Why is everything made from matter, rather than antimatter?

Slamming protons and antiprotons together at 40 tera - electron volts (40 trillion eV), the SSC would have put out more than enough energy to create the elusive Higgs boson, sometimes called the «God particle,» which gives other particles their mass.

Because the strong force holding the protons and neutrons together is stronger than the electromagnetic one, knocking the nucleus apart into pieces demands more energy than removing the electrons.

«The properties of individual electrons have been known for many years, but when they get together as a group they do bizarre things» — much like stock traders, who have more in common with quarks and gluons than you might think.

Johnson hoped the numbers could tell them something about how the individual particles — in this case, insurgents rather than electrons — functioned when put together in large groups.

«Using a new type of electron detector — basically a super-fast, super-sensitive camera — we were able to measure the stretching of the materials from where it joined at the atomic scale to how the whole sheet fitted together, and do so with a precision better than one third of one percent of the distance between atoms.»
