128 examples of Electrons in a sentence

We've been able to engineer viruses to pick up carbon nanotubes and then grow titanium dioxide around them, and use it as a way of getting electrons through the device.
What it is is a diagram, just like circuitry, except the circuitry here isn't wires conducting electrons, it's tubes containing trains conducting people from place to place.
As we were working on this, it dawned on us: this is taking infrared radiation, wavelengths, and converting it into electrons.
They make up a single, giant edifice obeying the same physical laws and all made from the same types of atoms, electrons, protons, quarks, neutrinos, that make up you and me.
So to produce current, magnesium loses two electrons to become magnesium ion, which then migrates across the electrolyte, accepts two electrons from the antimony, and then mixes with it to form an alloy.
The electrons go to work in the real world out here, powering our devices.
You probably already know everything is made up of little tiny things called atoms or even that each atom is made up of even smaller particles called protons, neutrons and electrons.
In the center of the atom is something called the nucleus, which contains protons and neutrons, and on the outside, you'd see electrons.
It contains protons, neutrons and electrons.
Way on the edge are the electrons.
So if an atom is like a ball the size of a football stadium, with the nucleus in the center, and the electrons on the edge, what is in between the nucleus and the electrons?
Empty! Between the nucleus and the electrons, there are vast regions of empty space.
Electrons go around one way, positrons go around the other.
But as the electrons go round at the speed of light, they shed X-rays.
So, electricity is the flow of electrons inside a material.
And these electrons, while flowing, they collide with the atoms, and in these collisions they lose a certain amount of energy.
Electrons disappear in a kind of fuzz, and there is only energy.
You probably think the electrons in an electric wire move instantaneously down a wire, don't you, at the speed of light, when you turn the light on, they don't.
So that suggests to us that our sense of self does not end at the last layer of the epithelium of our bodies, but it ends at the last layer of electrons of the tools that we're commanding with our brains.
The net charge on an ion is equal to the number of protons in the ion minus the number of electrons.
There's about a hundred of these basic ingredients, and they're all made from three smaller particles: protons, neutrons, electrons.
Now, these bonds between atoms, they're made of electrons.
Atoms use electrons like arms to reach out and hold their neighbors.
Two electrons in each bond, like a handshake, and like a handshake, they are not permanent.
I left out a lot today: phosphorus and sulfur and the other atoms, and why they all bond the way they do, and symmetry and non-bonding electrons, and atoms that are charged, and reactions and their mechanisms, and it goes on and on and on, and synthesis takes a long time to learn.
Well, when you stream a video onto your computer, that information is temporarily stored using electrons.
And the number of electrons on your device won't actually increase or decrease.
Assuming a typical bit rate, we can figure that a minute of YouTube video is going to need to involve about 10 million electrons on your device.
Plugging all those electrons and the energy it takes to hold them in the correct place for you to see the video, into that formula, we can figure out that one minute of YouTube video increases the mass of your computer by about 10 to the negative 19th grams.
I've really tried to solve some big problems: counterterrorism, nuclear terrorism, and health care and diagnosing and treating cancer, but I started thinking about all these problems, and I realized that the really biggest problem we face, what all these other problems come down to, is energy, is electricity, the flow of electrons.
