| The emission of the electron's antiparticle, the positron, is also called beta decay. |
|
| An electron's mass is so small that it is usually given a value in atomic mass units, compared to the value of 1 assigned to neutrons and protons. |
|
| Quantum computers would work on a similar principle, but qubits would be encoded in delicate properties such as an electron's spin. |
|
| The electron is a zero-dimensional object, and its very zerolike nature ensures that scientists don't even know the electron's mass or charge. |
|
| His theoretical spinor algebra produced correct values of the electron's energy and spin but gave no hint of the physical structure of the electron. |
|
| Although no one has yet measured the electron's electric dipole moment, researchers think it should exist and could be within reach of today's modern laboratory setups. |
|
| This work led Dirac to predict the existence of the positron, the electron's antiparticle, which he interpreted in terms of what came to be called the Dirac sea. |
|
| To do their job, the pilot waves must travel to the far slit and return in time to influence the electron's path depending on whether that slit is open. |
|
| The Canadian scientists claim that their new method of probing molecular structure has yielded the most revealing image so far of an electron's wave function. |
|
| But to have a reasonable safety factor built into the system, even one photon from an electron's track had to be sufficient to trigger a response. |
|
| Thermo Electron's new PolyLab system is a modular torque rheometer designed for process simulation in the lab or pilot plant. |
|
| Tokyo Electron's self-titled LP on eMpTy Records is making my bowels shake and perhaps bringing tumors to the surface of my brain. |
