Neutrinos Find a Place in Debate and in Pop Culture 2011-10-24T19:42:47Z One important piece of reactor equipment measures the number of neutrons, the subatomic particles that sustain the chain reaction. Green Blog: When an Earthquake Shuts a Reactor 2011-09-08T12:44:17Z These devices, which generate vapour trails that mark the passage of high-energy subatomic particles, were the first apparatus that allowed such passage to be tracked. Climate science (II): Clouds in a jar 2011-08-24T18:32:43Z The world is presently blessed with two competing particle accelerators smashing together subatomic particles, and several thousand physicists sifting the debris, in search of new laws of nature. News Analysis: Particle Accelerators Full of Spin and Fury, Signifying Something 2011-08-01T21:21:10Z To avoid adding such chemicals, Sumit Garg at Argonne National Laboratory in Argonne, Illinois, and his colleagues used bombardment with neutrons--neutral subatomic particles--to follow cholesterol movement. Cholesterol Moves Slowly Among Cells 2011-07-19T20:45:00.227Z Scientists study the spray of subatomic particles given off by the impact in hopes of observing new ones. Chicago News Cooperative: Atom-Smasher Retires; Lab Makes Career Switch 2011-05-21T21:14:16Z His most famous contribution to science’s basic understanding of how the universe works involved the ghostly, perplexing subatomic particles known as neutrinos. Maurice Goldhaber, Atomic Physicist, Is Dead at 100 2011-05-18T00:50:46Z A pioneering technique using subatomic particles known as neutrons could give microscopic hints of extra dimensions or even dark matter, researchers say. Gravity probed at quantum level 2011-04-18T03:42:14Z But for subatomic particles, it is a major influence. Simon van der Meer, Nobel Laureate, Dies at 85 2011-03-12T02:31:51Z Moore had flown in for the race from the Amundsen-Scott South Pole base, where he drills holes in the ice for subatomic particle detectors. A Marathon on Ice 2011-01-29T22:13:37Z Nearly 23 percent is made up of dark matter, which some physicists suspect consists of wispy subatomic particles that may someday be caught in a detector. Richard Panek's study of the cosmos,"The 4 Percent Universe" 2011-01-28T17:19:02Z In physics, the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle states that the process of observing subatomic particles affects their behavior. Talking Business: Shamed Into Altering a Mortgage 2011-01-22T01:13:50Z Kysa Johnson tracks the travel paths of subatomic particles in swirling colored lines — there’s no Lonely Planet accompanying her map, either. | Westchester: Maps for Navigating to a New Perspective 2010-12-05T04:30:00Z Not so for the proton, the subatomic particle that anchors atoms and is the building block of all ordinary matter, of stars, planets and people. For a Proton, a Little Off the Top (or Side) Could Be Big Trouble 2010-07-12T21:25:00Z For decades, the government produced it in military reactors by bombarding a natural element, uranium, with subatomic particles called neutrons, converting uranium to plutonium, and then using chemical processes to harvest the plutonium. A New Analysis Triples U.S. Plutonium Waste Figures 2010-07-10T22:37:00Z In the bizarre world of quantum mechanics, however, subatomic particles can exist in several states at once. Quantum computing: A quantum hop 2010-06-24T11:19:00Z They are after an elusive subatomic particle called a neutrino. Using Earth to Map the Cosmos 2010-06-01T04:19:00Z As a class, research reactors serve mainly as factories for the production of the subatomic particles known as neutrons, which are used for scientific experiments and various types of nuclear production. Research Reactors Pose Challenge in Push for Nuclear Safety 2010-04-12T20:49:00Z Yes, the collider finally crashed subatomic particles into one another last week, but why, exactly, is that important? A Primer on the Large Hadron Collider and Particle Physics 2010-04-04T04:10:00Z The collisions in the 27-kilometer-long accelerator set a new record for the highest energy crash of subatomic particles. Large Hadron Collider Revs Up 2010-03-31T14:13:00Z The new collisions are expected to shatter the subatomic particles and reveal still smaller fragments and forces than previously achieved on any collider, including the previous record-holder - the Tevatron at Fermilab outside Chicago. Atom Smasher Restarts to Prepare for New Science 2010-03-01T15:18:00Z The experiments, smashing protons into each other, produced a few more subatomic particles known as pions and kaons than the team was expecting. 2010-02-09T11:04:00Z It was known shortly after experiments had been conducted on atomic and subatomic particles that grounds had at last been found by means of which a counteraction to gravity might be set up. The Secret of the Ninth Planet If it didn't, asteroid and Planeteers would end up as subatomic particles in the sun's photosphere, because he had calculated his blast to drive the asteroid past the limit of safety. Rip Foster in Ride the Gray Planet Well, today physicists peering into the infinitely small realms of subatomic particles find reaffirmations of religious faith. State of the Union Address |
