light elements in a sentence
Examples
- To be effective, moderator materials must thus contain light elements with atomic nuclei that tend to scatter neutrons on impact rather than absorb them.
- They were not too worried about the plutonium itself; their main concern was the issue Chadwick had raised about interaction with light element impurities.
- This has several applications in physical cosmology, including the formation of the light elements in big bang nucleosynthesis, the production of dark matter and baryogenesis.
- It is especially useful to profile light elements such as H, B, C, N, and O in the presence of heavier material background.
- She was known for her experimental work in nuclear spectroscopy of light elements, and for her annual reviews of the energy levels of light atomic nuclei.
- As the control system of the light elements can suffer technical problems during long-lasting cold weather, the installation is shut down in such weather.
- If the core temperature exceeds about 2.5 million degrees, light elements begin fusing together to release energy and to turn the object into a star.
- Among light elements that absorb thermal neutrons, 6 Li and 10 B appear as potential spacecraft structural materials which serve both for mechanical reinforcement and radiation protection.
- Complementary neutron crystallography techniques are used to identify the positions of hydrogen atoms, since X-rays only interact very weakly with light elements such as hydrogen.
- As more cosmological data began to be collected, cosmologists began to realize that the Big Bang correctly predicted the abundance of light elements observed in the cosmos.
