Sentences with phrase «very high magnetic fields»

Prof. Polini adds that «This discovery may eventually lead to understanding in a truly microscopic fashion complex quantum phenomena that occur when matter is subject to ultra-low temperatures and very high magnetic fields, like the fractional quantum Hall effect»

Not exact matches

The pulsar's fast rotation and strong magnetic field work together to accelerate electrons and other particles to very high energies.

The shock waves from such stellar explosions, or the magnetic fields of the superdense neutron stars left behind, were thought to be able to boost particles from the explosion and surrounding region to very high energies.

«When you burn clay at very high temperatures, you actually stabilize the magnetic minerals, and when they cool from these very high temperatures, they lock in a record of the Earth's magnetic field,» Tarduno says.

Plasmas, being composed of charged particles (some with very high velocities), can be manipulated by magnetic fields.

We know that for energies of modest to intermediate energy, the culprit or the source of the acceleration appears to be the shock front that surrounds a [an] expanding supernova blast wave; that is to say, we have a star that undergoes a massive cosmic explosion [and] drives a strong shock wave out into the surrounding interstellar medium, and the gas around the shock wave, and all the magnetic fields associated with it are capable of accelerating particles to very high energies; and also incidentally magnifying and amplifying the magnetic field associated with that shock front and giving a lot of x-ray emission and radio emission and so on, and so we've understood that.

«Only by combining the high quality observations at very different wavelengths could we do this and when we separated these energy sources the effect of the magnetic field was surprisingly clear.»

Roel Vermeulen at Utrecht University in the Netherlands and his team found that people whose jobs exposed them to high levels of very low frequency magnetic fields were twice as likely to develop ALS as people who have never had this kind of occupational exposure (Occupational & Environmental Medicine, doi.org/b43j).

But it involves very high - strength magnetic fields, which means if a patient has any implanted metal devices containing iron, it could potentially cause harm.»

These rapid changes in the magnetic field cause flares, which release a huge amount of energy in a very short time in the form of super-heated plasma, high - energy radiation and radio bursts.

Because the highest - energy cosmic rays are deflected very little by the magnetic fields in our galaxy - and even less by the much weaker fields in intergalactic space - we ought to be able to look back in the direction of the cosmic rays to find their origin.

Kate also played a key leadership role in both the experiments and the manipulation of the data sets in a program of neutron and x-ray diffraction measurements in very high, pulsed magnetic fields.

As a very young high - mass star, Achernar is a fast rotator with a rotational period of hours and a substantial magnetic field around one kG.

The strong magnetic fields inside these remnants accelerate protons to very high speed, creating cosmic rays.

SDO / HMI provides fantastic views of the photospheric magnetic field at very high spatial resolution, and on very fast time - scales.

«The solar wind, because it is an extended ionized gas of very high electrical conductivity, drags some magnetic flux out of the Sun, thereby filling the heliosphere with the weak interplanetary magnetic field.

The magnetic field strength deflects more or less galactic cosmic rays which are really very high energy charged particles and the interaction between charge and magnetic field strength deflects them just like the magnets on the yoke of a cathode ray tube deflects an electron beam.
