Sentences with phrase «xenon atoms in»

Only the large number of xenon atoms in the experiment allows researchers to search for such a long - lived decay.

They then fixed the individual argon, krypton and xenon atoms in a molecular network.

Not exact matches

To measure the van der Waals forces, scientists in Basel used a low - temperature atomic force microscope with a single xenon atom on the tip.

The xenon's job is to light up, with a jolt of electrical charge and a faint flash of light caught by surrounding sensors, when a dark - matter particle collides with one of its atoms — and the gallons of water and mile of rock's job is to stop anything else from getting in and disturbing it.

The term state is in quotes, because a wide variety of agents — ranging from single atoms such as xenon to polycyclic hydrocarbons — can produce insensibility to pain and loss of awareness.

IBM scientists first demonstrated this technique in 1990 when they discovered how to use an STM to move single xenon atoms around on a nickel surface — they used 35 of them to spell out «IBM».

The smaller ring (compound labeled 1; top) self - assembles into straws with narrow - bore interiors that can accommodate xenon atoms only in single file.

Then the xenon flows into the smaller chamber, where its polarization is measured, using the rubidium atoms in the same chamber as magnetometers.

The novel design also uses the rubidium atoms to polarize the xenon atoms, boosting their NMR response, and mixes the two types of atoms in the same chamber at the detection stage, which enhances the signal strength 500-fold.

If it all sounds too radical, that may be a good thing: most direct detection experiments, which wait for an ordinary WIMP to collide with the nucleus of a heavy atom like germanium or xenon, have seen nothing (see «Going underground in search of dark matter strikes «-RRB-, for example.

Xenon atoms stay polarized in the body for up to 30 seconds, long enough for the gas to be absorbed into the bloodstream and circulate into the tissues of blood - rich organs.

The team's models identified the MOF that trapped xenon most selectively and had a pore size close to the size of a xenon atom — SBMOF - 1, which they then tested in the lab at PNNL.

Abstract: We have investigated multiphoton multiple ionization dynamics of argon and xenon atoms using a new x-ray free electron laser (XFEL) facility, SPring - 8 Angstrom Compact free electron LAser (SACLA) in Japan, and identified that highly charged Xe ions with the charge state up to +26 are produced predominantly via four - photon absorption as well as highly charged Ar ions with the charge state up to +10... ▽ More We have investigated multiphoton multiple ionization dynamics of argon and xenon atoms using a new x-ray free electron laser (XFEL) facility, SPring - 8 Angstrom Compact free electron LAser (SACLA) in Japan, and identified that highly charged Xe ions with the charge state up to +26 are produced predominantly via four - photon absorption as well as highly charged Ar ions with the charge state up to +10 are produced via two - photon absorption at a photon energy of 5.5 keV.
