“The simulation consists of thermalization, equilibration, and production phases.”

“The magnitude of the observed anisotropic flow effect is sensitive to the degree of thermalization at the collision's earliest moments.”

“The collisional thermalization between electrons and ions is very slow, due to the large difference in their masses, and it occurs on a millisecond timescale.”

“A thermal carried the glider higher into the sky as the pilot expertly navigated the rising column of heated atmosphere.”

“It works for pottering around in barefoot at home or layered up with thermals, tights and a cardie for winter workdays.”

“Black vultures choose less precarious rocky perches on which to nest but join the lammergeiers on the thermals in their quest for food.”

“How about trekking to one of the planet's coldest spots wrapped up in thermals and Gore-Tex, all in the quest for artistic inspiration?”
