This could shrink the size and cost of building giant accelerators, which produce sub-atomic particles.
The Standard Model is a framework that explains how the known sub-atomic particles interact with each other.
The loop may produce sub-atomic particles with a thousand times more energy than those in man-made accelerators.
Gamma-ray emitters bounce atomic particles off rock formations to see the size, density and flow of oil reservoirs.
Each electron added to this fluid creates a ripple, and these ripples behave like fractionally charged sub-atomic particles.
The candidates for dark matter come in two basic sorts: largish chunks, or darting, sub-atomic particles in unimaginable abundance.
Immediately after the Big Bang, the Universe was a hot, dense "soup" in which sub atomic particles interacted strongly with radiation.
The reason the detector is buried so deeply is to keep all but the most persistent of sub-atomic particles away from it.
Prof Peter Higgs developed a theory of how other sub-atomic particles came to have substance, or mass, and published his work in 1964.
Though they did not, themselves, perform the synthesis, Dr't Hooft and Dr Veltman tidied up its mathematics to such a degree that useful predictions about the properties of unknown sub-atomic particles became possible.
Directed energy (DE) is an umbrella term covering technologies that produce a beam of concentrated electromagnetic energy or atomic or subatomic particles as a direct means to damage or destroy adversary equipment, facilities, and personnel.
Cleaning the wafers could affect solar samples because the particles -- atomic isotopes emitted by the sun -- are only shallowly embedded in the tiles.
Last year, the IAEA (International Atomic Energy Agency) found particles of man-made uranium at the al-Kibar site in Syria, which was destroyed by Israeli missiles in September 2007.
Quarks, the particles from which atomic nuclei are made, were reckoned to have such fractional charges, but since it is impossible to isolate a quark, its charge cannot be measured directly.
In 1966 Kenneth Greisen, Vadim Kuzmin and Georgiy Zatsepin showed that high-energy charged particles (cosmic rays are mostly atomic nuclei, and thus positively charged) should be slowed by collisions with the photons of the cosmic microwave background (radiation left over from the Big Bang that permeates all space).
Using the first completed section of the NOvA neutrino detector, scientists have begun collecting data from cosmic rays-particles produced by a constant rain of atomic nuclei falling on the Earth's atmosphere from space .
's International Atomic Energy Agency asked Iran to explain the presence of particles of enrichment levels of up to 27%, found in an analysis of environmental samples taken in February at the Fordo fuel enrichment plant near the city of Qom.
Since every isotope that spews gamma or X rays or charged particles does so in a unique way--an atomic fingerprint, of sorts--the color and intensity of the flash tells the detector which isotope is present and in what quantity.
It will examine neutrons (the electrically neutral components of atomic nuclei) that are ejected from the lunar surface after being bombarded by cosmic rays (energetic particles that constantly streak through space).
According to the standard model these six particles (the flavoured neutrinos and the corresponding electron-like particles) together with another six, the quarks (which make up the protons and neutrons in atomic nuclei), are the irreducible units from which the rest of matter is composed.
