Those chips and their spread out electrons power the computer you're using to watch this video.
The extreme pressure of a collapsing star is so high, that subatomic protons and electrons are forced together in the core, forming neutrons.
Radiation becomes risky when it rips atoms' electrons away upon impact, a process that can damage DNA.
This is known as ionizing radiation because an atom that has lost or gained electrons is called an ion.
They have little electrons that swarm around a central nucleus with neutrons and protons.
And there you see unification, because matter particles, electrons and quarks, radiation particles, photons, gravitons, are all built up from one entity.
It was all about understanding the paradoxical stability property of plasmas, which are a crowd of electrons.
The picture is that the electrons and the quarks in your body and in the universe that we see around us are heavy, in a sense, and massive, because they're surrounded by Higgs particles.
In about the first billionth of a second or so, the Higgs field kicked in, and the quarks and the gluons and the electrons that make us up got mass.
One misconception is that fire is a plasma, the fourth state of matter in which atoms are stripped of their electrons.
And those tendencies are derived from the very nature of the physics, chemistry of wires and switches and electrons, and they will make reoccurring patterns again and again.
So Thompson had discovered the first subatomic particle, which we now call electrons.
I mean, Thompson didn't think there were any applications of electrons.
But that's just the electrons in your body pushing back against the electrons in the seat, opposing the force of gravity.
Thankfully, this tube was just a start, because something else happens when the electrons here hit the piece of metal inside the tube.
So as the electrons screech to a halt inside the metal, their energy gets thrown out again in a form of high-energy light, which we call X-rays.
If you can get these electrons up to a higher energy, so about 1,000 times higher than this tube, the X-rays that those produce can actually deliver enough ionizing radiation to kill human cells.
This is a light called synchrotron radiation, and it's formed from electrons spiraling around cosmic magnetic fields.
We know that there must be a lot of high-energy electrons in the plane to produce the synchrotron radiation that we see, and we think they're produced by supernova remnants, but there don't seem to be enough.
Experiments found that each atom has a tiny, dense nucleus, surrounded by a cloud of even tinier electrons.
Electrons are bound to an atom’s nucleus by electromagnetism.
Electrons, together with up and down quarks, seem to be all we need to build atoms and therefore describe normal matter.
The same was found for electrons, which have heavier siblings called the muon and the tau.
And that's what all these machines are doing, except, instead of doing it with marbles, they're doing it with electrons.
You know, you probably had this a long time ago in chemistry, where you had these two atoms, they're close together, and the electrons are moving around.
But what this cataclysmic eruption leaves behind might be even more remarkable: a ball of matter so dense that atomic electrons collapse from their quantum orbits into the depths of atomic nuclei.
Think of a compact ball inside of which protons and electrons fuse into neutrons and form a frictionless liquid called a superfluid— surrounded by a crust.
So, one aspect of string theory, at its simplest form, is this: matter is made up of atoms, which are made up of protons and neutrons and electrons, which are made up of quark.
Well, quantum physics describes the behavior of atoms and fundamental particles, like electrons and photons.
These sand-sized particles emit ionizing radiation, capable of separating electrons from molecules and atoms.
