Sentence examples for nuclei of elements from inspiring English sources

Neutrons originating underground because of radioactivity and cosmic-ray bombardment interact with the nuclei of elements in the regolith en route to space, where they can be detected from orbit.

Neutrons originating underground owing to radioactivity and cosmic-ray bombardment interact with the nuclei of elements in the regolith en route to space, where they can be detected from orbit.

Cosmic rays are typically protons or atomic nuclei of elements such as helium, carbon, or iron.

"The prodigal son was going up against his mentor, and he had a whole team of us young guys," says Louis Lanzerotti, a space physicist at the New Jersey Institute of Technology in Newark, who joined Krimigis on his winning Low Energy Charged Particle LECPP) experiment, designed to detect nuclei of elements heavier than hydrogen or helium.

Much later, in 1992, the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC) re-assessed the claims of discovery for this element and concluded that only the Dubna team correctly detected and assigned decays to nuclei of element 102 in 1966.

The probability that a target nucleus and a projectile nucleus would fuse into a single massive particle was extremely low, and only two nuclei of element 114 were observed in a week's worth of bombardment.

The seventh row of the periodic table of the elements was completed in 2010 as a result of a high-energy nuclear synthesis experiment that succeeded in creating a few nuclei of element 117.

In September researchers at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory at the University of California, Berkeley, independently confirmed the results of an experiment that had been conducted a decade earlier by scientists at the Joint Institute for Nuclear Research in Dubna, Russia, who claimed that they had synthesized nuclei of element 114.

Out of the collision popped four nuclei of element 115.

Several radioactive isotopes have been synthesized in the laboratory, either by fusion of the nuclei of lighter elements or as intermediate decay products of heavier elements.

In fusion, the nuclei of light elements such as hydrogen fuse together to make heavier elements.
