It transforms the thin wisp of hydrogen gas that permeates interstellar space into an intense radiation beam that would kill humans within seconds and destroy the spacecraft's electronic instruments.

根据这个理论贯穿于整个宇宙空间的稀薄氢气会转化成强烈的辐射光线形式，将在几秒内杀死人类并且毁坏太空飞船的电子仪器。

Cold plasma, a combination of oxygen and helium gas concentrated into a lightening-like beam, has previously been used by medics to clean bacteria off wounds.

冷等离子，是由氧气和氦气混合集中成的光束，先前主要在医疗上用来清除伤口的细菌。

The agitated gas is then funneled through the actuating blaster module, where it is processed into an intense particle beam.

然后，被激发的气体从爆能枪启动模块的狭窄空间经过，变成强大的粒子束。

And since fiber-optic cables are typically run right along with utility pipes--neither phone nor gas companies want to have their lines cut--it's easy to connect a fiber backbone to the gas pipes at the neighborhood level, and beam a signal the final few feet to each home.

They used a beam of photons to measure the small magnetic field produced by a gas made up of a million ultra-cold rubidium atoms.

FORBES: Scientists Beat the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle

In an atmosphere of deuterium gas, the field generated positively charged deuteron ions and accelerated them to high energy in a beam.
