Arm amputation is usually caused by trauma, with things like industrial accidents, motor vehicle collisions or, very poignantly, war.
For example, XCL Technologies, they developed two of the mission critical systems for the new Boeing 787 Dreamliner, one to avoid collisions in the sky, and another to allow landing in zero visibility.
And these electrons, while flowing, they collide with the atoms, and in these collisions they lose a certain amount of energy.
However, inside a superconductor there are no collisions, so there is no energy dissipation.
Now, we have some ways to go before we take this outside the lab on the road, but in the future, we could create cars that avoid collisions with what's around the bend.
And yet we have 3.6 million car collisions a year.
In 2015, the LHC will almost double the energy of the colliding protons, and these more powerful collisions will allow us to explore further the particle world, and we will certainly learn much more.
The ball would smash right into and through them, and the collisions with these air molecules would knock away the nitrogen, carbon and hydrogen from the ball, fragmenting it off into tiny particles, and also triggering waves of thermonuclear fusion in the air around it.
I and others pointed out that nature has done the same experiments zillions of times already, via cosmic ray collisions.
The two-gram carbon fiber cage around it prevents the propellers from entangling, but essentially the collision is absorbed and the robot responds to the collisions.
Now, you're probably already aware that not all collisions lead to dates for the dance, thankfully.
The collisions must have two important characteristics: One, correct orientation that allows books to be knocked from one's hands; and two, enough energy to knock the books out.
Harriet wanted to help all chemistry students and chemists remember how to speed up the rate of chemical reactions and I, being the nice guy that I am, decided to make it my mission to help create educational environments in which more book-dropping collisions can take place to increase future chemists' chances of getting a date for the dance.
This will make it more difficult to safely navigate the hallways and will cause more collisions than in larger hallways.
And by increasing the number of collisions, we increase the likelihood that some of those collisions will have the correct alignment and enough energy to create a date to the dance.
In doing so, the individual particles are closer together, and more collisions will occur.
More collisions means a greater likelihood that collisions with the appropriate energy and configuration will happen.
More students equals more collisions.
By increasing the number of particles available for collision, we create an environment where more collisions can take place.
This increase in velocity will help make sure collisions have the appropriate amount of energy necessary to ensure book-dropping.
By traveling in packs, the students on the outside of the pack insulate those in the middle from undergoing any collisions.
In the collisions between two protons at CERN's Large Hadron Collider, billions of particles and antiparticles are produced every second.
On July 4, 2012, physicists at CERN announced to the world that they'd spotted a new fundamental particle being created at the violent collisions at the LHC: the Higgs boson.
What particle physicists are all desperately hoping for are signs of new particles, micro black holes, or maybe something totally unexpected emerging from the violent collisions at the Large Hadron Collider.
One of the big detectors which record these collisions, they didn't think there was technology that could withstand the radiation that would be created in the LHC, so there was basically a lump of lead in the middle of this object with some detectors around the outside, but subsequently we have developed technology.
In the perfect world of plasma, there are no collisions and no friction to provide the stability like we are used to.
And in this tunnel, we use superconducting magnets colder than outer space to accelerate protons to almost the speed of light and slam them into each other millions of times per second, collecting the debris of these collisions to search for new, undiscovered fundamental particles.
My colleagues and I held our breath and bit our fingernails, and then finally we saw the first proton collisions at this highest energy ever.
This little bump indicated that we were seeing an unexpectedly large number of collisions whose debris consisted of only two photons, two particles of light.
Particle collisions are not like automobile collisions.
