Such accidents do not usually spew out large amount of contaminated particles, as happened at Chernobyl, but they do give off intensive radiation.

The particles are large enough that the risk of contracting polio in the air is momentary, and on a surface like a desk or a chair, it can last an hour or two.

In his attempt to do so, Dr He developed a new technique that is particularly good at detecting particles with such unusually large charges.

And, at this point, the tiny, dry insulin particles had such a large surface area relative to their mass that, like popcorn or flour, they poured unevenly, leaving air pockets and inconsistent doses.

As a consequence, the wavelengths of the chilled atoms become very large (atoms, like everything else, are both particles and waves).

The others are large, negatively charged molecules that attach themselves to viral particles (which are positively charged on the outside) and thus render them harmless.

One set of small-scale sunshine-reduction experiments discussed in Asilomar would send plumes of various sulphurous fluids in the stratosphere to find out which would best produce a haze of small particles similar to those that cool the planet after a large volcanic eruption.

Teams at the Large Hadron Collider must be developing a knack for producing tangible evidence of theoretical particles.

In this invisible world, tiny particles of gold melt at temperatures several hundred degrees lower than a large nugget, and copper, which is normally a good conductor of electricity, can become resistant in thin layers in the presence of a magnetic field.

Large stars end in the more spectacular explosions known as supernovae, which generate fast-moving particles in extraordinarily high magnetic fields.
