Neutrons in sentence

37 examples of Neutrons in a sentence

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.
The protons and neutrons live inside of the nucleus, and contain almost all of the mass of the atom.
There's about a hundred of these basic ingredients, and they're all made from three smaller particles: protons, neutrons, electrons.
So you have what's called the xenon pit, and so some of these fission products love neutrons.
They love the neutrons that are going on and helping this reaction take place.
Because your fuel is liquid, and it's combined with your coolant, you could actually just drain the core into what's called a sub-critical setting, basically a tank underneath the reactor that has some neutrons absorbers.
If the Higgs field were only a few times more intense, we would see atoms shrinking, neutrons decaying inside atomic nuclei, nuclei disintegrating, and hydrogen would be the only possible chemical element in the universe.
When you make fusion, the energy comes out as neutrons, fast neutrons comes out of the plasma.
Those neutrons hit the wall of the machine.
And also, you have to catch the heat from those neutrons and run some steam to spin a turbine somewhere, and on those machines, it was all a bit of an afterthought.
The liquid metal absorbs all the neutrons and no neutrons hit the wall, and therefore there's no damage to the machine.
We made a small machine that we managed to squeeze a little bit of neutrons out of that, and those are my marketing neutrons, and with those marketing neutrons, then I raised about 50 million dollars, and I hired 65 people.
A few seconds after the Big Bang, it was hotter still, hot enough to overpower the forces that usually hold protons and neutrons together in atomic nuclei.
Further back, microseconds after the Big Bang, and the protons and neutrons were only just beginning to form from quarks, one of the fundamental building blocks of the standard model of particle physics.
Every atom has a core, which is made up of at least one positively charged particle called a proton, and in most cases, some number of neutral particles called neutrons.
We can't see protons, neutrons, or electrons.
The extreme pressure of a collapsing star is so high, that subatomic protons and electrons are forced together in the core, forming neutrons.
Neutrons have no repelling electric charge so they're easily captured by the iron group elements.
However, some combinations of protons and neutrons, known as isotopes, remain unstable, or radioactive.
They have little electrons that swarm around a central nucleus with neutrons and protons.
Even the neutrons and protons have smaller particles inside of them known as quarks.
The quarks, these pink things, are the things that make up protons and neutrons that make up the atomic nuclei in your body.
The nucleus has more secrets to reveal, as it contains protons and neutrons.
Though once thought to be fundamental particles on their own, in 1968 physicists found that protons and neutrons are actually made of quarks, which are indivisible.
This same force allows protons and neutrons to transform into each other, a vital part of the fusion interactions that drive the Sun.
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.
This process produces an incredible amount of energy, and in some materials the neutrons produced by one fission are absorbed by nearby atoms, splitting additional nuclei.
