76 examples of Electron in a sentence

The experiments that were going on were very simple: you simply take the proton, and you hit it really sharply with an electron.
As I say, every home should have a scanning electron microscope to be able to see these.
And when the insect gets there and lands on it, dousing itself in pollen, of course, that it's going to take to another plant, if you look at the every-home-should-have-one scanning electron microscope picture, you can see that there are actually some patterning there, which is three-dimensional.
And what if we could get exquisite control over the essence of energy, the electron?
And it takes all the infrared available at night, converts it into an electron in the space of two small films, and is enabling you to play an image which you can see through.
Suddenly you've converted energy into an electron on a plastic surface that you can stick on your window.
EBox is testing new nanomaterials to park an electron on the outside, hold it until you need it, and then be able to release it and pass it off.
This is why we have to solve our problems, and I know the answer as to how is to be able to get exquisite control over a building block of nature, the stuff of life: the simple electron.
Somewhere an electron flies off its energy cloud.
So an X-ray comes in in the diagram on the left and it knocks out an electron from the inner shell of an atom.
And that electron disappears.
And as it disappears, an electron from a shell farther out jumps in and takes its place.
That chip and PIN card that's in your pocket has a little chip on it that cost millions of pounds to develop, is extremely secure, you can put scanning electron microscopes on it, you can try and grind it down, blah blah blah.
If you've ever seen an electron microscope picture, you'll see this.
And I wanted to go one step further, and I wanted to move one electron on and one electron off.
The electron microscope fires electrons which creates images which can magnify things by as much as a million times.
This is not an electron micrograph; this is just a regular photomicrograph.
First, just like the electron is an excitation in the electron field, the Higgs boson is simply a particle which is an excitation of the everywhere-permeating Higgs field.
Consider, for example, the electron.
Let's imagine that we can shrink down to the size of an electron and inject ourselves into a click of a mouse.
It's not that we don't have the equipment, it's that this uncertainty is part of our model of the electron.
But we can say there's a certain probability of finding an electron in a given space around the nucleus.
And that means that we can ask the following question: If we drew a shape around the nucleus such that we would be 95% sure of finding a given electron within that shape, what would it look like?
Well, that's another quirk of our model of the electron.
Past a certain distance from the nucleus, the probability of finding an electron starts to decrease more or less exponentially, which means that while it will approach zero, it'll never actually hit zero.
But suppose we explore a question about the physics of atoms, like what does the motion of an electron around the nucleus of a hydrogen atom look like?
The same sort of thing happens to physical systems at quantum scales, like an electron orbiting in a hydrogen atom.
The electron isn't really orbiting at all.
A tiny particle, like an electron, though, can show dramatic evidence of its dual nature.
If we shoot electrons one at a time at a set of two narrow slits cut in a barrier, each electron on the far side is detected at a single place at a specific instant, like a particle.
