Sentence examples for composition of material from inspiring English sources
Communications had been scheduled to end today, exactly one year after the craft went into orbit around Eros. Engineers signaled NEAR, for Near Earth Asteroid Rendezvous, to turn on its gamma ray spectrometer, an instrument intended to determine the composition of material on the surface of the asteroid and a few inches below.
The volume and composition of material erupted at Newberry and Three Sisters region (latitudes 43.5 44.5°N) requires a different balance between crystallization and crustal melting, as 60% crystallization does not release enough heat to produce the remainder of magmas through crustal melting.
These findings suggest that surface engineering technologies can be potentially used to directly control/manufacture the nanoscale surface texture and the composition of material surfaces, thereby to mediate the interaction of proteins with biomaterials.
Those efforts allow scientists to examine the light and determine the chemical makeup of the planet's atmosphere in the same way that chemists use the spectrum of light (the wavelength or colors of light) to analyze the composition of material in a lab.
Researchers apply techniques such as x-ray diffraction (XRD) to identify crystal structures and monitor deformation at the atomic-level, x-ray fluorescence (XRF) to determine the elemental composition of material, and x-ray computed tomography (CT) to image the morphology of a structure.
Further, we allow for diffusion in the bulk material; we allow the composition of material transferred across the interface to differ from the compositions of either phase, with solute drag included as a special case; and we allow for heat flow in both phases.
Broadly, these can be described as tools for investigating the structure and composition of materials, but such rough strokes belie the detail.
New X-ray technologies and sample chambers, he said, are producing stunning images at 20-nanometer scale showing highly localized composition of materials.
From Sept. 16 to Sept. 23, a Twin Otter airplane crossed lower Manhattan with an airborne visible-infrared imaging spectrometer, Aviris, that divines the composition of materials a mile or more below by the way they reflect or absorb sunlight.
