subatomic particle

All the matter in the universe is made of atoms and subatomic particles that are ruled by probability, not certainty.

Einstein worked out the theory of relativity with paper and pencil, but could only speculate on the true nature of subatomic particles.

Most dark matter is believed to be in the form of subatomic particles that don't interact with regular atoms.

It mimics the rush of speeding subatomic particles that an exploding atom bomb spews out in its first microseconds.

But a powerful beam of subatomic particles could be used to crush nuclei together strongly enough so they fuse.

More than 200 subatomic particles have been detected so far, and most appear to have a corresponding antiparticle (see antimatter).

A small, massive, positively charged structure at the centre of an atom composed of subatomic particles, namely the protons and neutrons.

Solar flares are enormous magnetic outbursts from the sun that bombard the earth with high speed subatomic particles.

Meson: Any member of a family of subatomic particles composed of a quark and an antiquark (see antimatter).

Small as they are, atoms are made up of still smaller units known as "subatomic particles" .

Every subatomic interaction consists of the annihilation of the original particles and the creation of new subatomic particles.

Scientists have managed to repeat an experiment which shows subatomic particles travelling faster than the speed of light.

particle accelerator : Device that accelerates a beam of fast-moving, electrically charged atoms ( ions ) or subatomic particles.

Synchrotrons are machines that accelerate subatomic particles ( in this case electrons) in a circle.

Scientists call ordinary matter "baryonic matter" because protons and neutrons are subatomic particles called baryons.

Cas A will allow researchers to test models of how the strong nuclear force, which binds subatomic particles, behaves in ultradense matter.

Decaying subatomic particles are slightly more likely to generate matter than antimatter.

Shock waves create energetic subatomic particles called cosmic rays, which can tear apart biomolecules and damage DNA beyond repair.

The universe contains everything that exists, from the tiniest subatomic particles to galactic superclusters.

It has even helped inspire the discovery of new subatomic particles.

Subatomic particles have broken the universe's fundamental speed limit, or so it was reported last week.

A third major group of subatomic particles consists of Bosons, which transmit the forces of the universe.

A body lighter than the sun resists collapse because it gets stabilized by repulsive quantum forces between subatomic particles.

Decaying with relatively short lifetime. Used of subatomic particles.

Subatomic particles such as electrons and protons may be nothing more than open strings and, if so, are stuck to a brane.

In the bizarre world of quantum mechanics, however, subatomic particles can exist in several states at once.

Any of a class of subatomic particles that are composed of quarks and take part in the strong interaction.

Helium 3 is used to detect neutrons, the subatomic particles that sustain the chain reaction in a bomb or a reactor.

Accelerators are used to study the structure of atomic nuclei and the nature of subatomic particles and their fundamental interactions.

The Discovery of Subatomic Particles
