Electrons in sentence

128 examples of Electrons in a sentence

My Ph.D. was to move electrons around, one at a time.
So we made it very small, so things were about 30 nanometers in size; making it very cold, so at liquid helium temperatures; and changing environment by changing the voltage, and the electrons could make flow around a loop one at a time, on and off, a little memory node.
So what we do is we take conventional printing presses, we make conductive inks, and run those through a press, and basically just letting hundreds of thousands of electrons flow through pieces of paper so we can make that paper interactive.
The electron microscope fires electrons which creates images which can magnify things by as much as a million times.
But, you might ask, why was the Higgs boson included in the standard model, alongside well-known particles like electrons and photons and quarks, if it hadn't been discovered back then in the 1970s?
Well, it was discovered that one of the tricks that enzymes have evolved to make use of, is by transferring subatomic particles, like electrons and indeed protons, from one part of a molecule to another via quantum tunneling.
Within cryptochrome, a pair of electrons are quantum-entangled.
Two quantum-entangled electrons within a single molecule dance a delicate dance that is very sensitive to the direction the bird flies in the Earth's magnetic field.
Mathematical string theories suggest descriptions of this unification, in addition to a fundamental structure for sub-atomic quarks and 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.
Today, things are largely made up of atoms, but hundreds of seconds after the Big Bang, it was too hot for electrons to join atomic nuclei to make atoms.
That core is surrounded by negatively charged particles called electrons.
We can't see protons, neutrons, or electrons.
The cores of atoms tend to stick together, but electrons are free to move, and this is why chemists love electrons.
But electrons are weird.
One of the weirdest things about electrons is that we can't exactly say where they are.
So, in every atom, there is some small, but non-zero, probability that for a very, very short period of time, one of its electrons is at the other end of the known universe.
But mostly electrons stay close to their nucleus as clouds of negative charged density that shift and move with time.
How electrons from one atom interact with electrons from another determines almost everything.
Atoms can give up their electrons, surrendering them to other atoms, or they can share electrons.
In solar panels, photons from the sun's rays hit the surface of a panel, and electrons are released to get an electric current going.
Every atom and molecule has a set number of possible energy levels for its electrons.
To shift its electrons from the ground state to a higher level, a molecule needs to gain a certain amount of energy.
Small things, like atoms or electrons though, can have wavelengths big enough to measure in physics experiments.
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.
But if you repeat this experiment many times, keeping track of all the individual detections, you'll see them trace out a pattern that's characteristic of wave behavior: a set of stripes - regions with many electrons separated by regions where there are none at all.
Bring two atoms close together, and the electrons don't need to choose just one atom but are shared between them.
The electrons in a solid aren't bound to a particular atom but shared among all of them, extending over a large range of space.
This gigantic superposition of states determines the ways electrons move through the material, whether it's a conductor or an insulator or a semiconductor.
Understanding how electrons are shared among atoms allows us to precisely control the properties of semiconductor materials, like silicon.
