Even though his own life was subatomic in principle, enough of those infinitesimal pellets could kill him.
A bit better, perhaps; a battery of collapsers, working on the subatomic level, had managed to destroy a fraction of a gram of the stuff, simply from the laws of chance encounters with parabolite molecules in the fourth dimension.
Even the collapsers, working on subatomic particles, were at a disadvantage.
At some time during its first years, Mercury had been so close to the sun that its temperature was driven high enough to permit a subatomic thermonuclear reaction.
If it didn't, asteroid and Planeteers would end up as subatomic particles in the sun's photosphere, because he had calculated his blast to drive the asteroid past the limit of safety.
As particle accelerators grew larger, more efficient, and more powerful, they became ever more useful in studying the structure of the nucleus and the nature of the subatomic particles themselves.
What about subatomic particles, however, which moved at tens of thousands of kilometers per second?
The droplets, the bubbles, and the light can all be detected one way or another and the path of the subatomic particle could be followed by the trail of ions it left behind.
This is because so many subatomic particles use up their energy in ionizing atoms, knocking electrons away, and never initiate nuclear reactions at all.
In fact, the only objects that were known to reach the nucleus were speeding subatomic particles.
Subatomic particles could be detected in a variety of ways, but every single way (right down to the present time) makes use of their electric charge.
In either case, electrons are knocked off atoms that are encountered by the speeding subatomic particle.
In the case of nuclear bombardment by subatomic particles (the only way, apparently, in which nuclear reactions can be brought about), the energy expended seems to be many times the energy to be extracted.
When subatomic particles came together to form an atomic nucleus, each kept its original spin, and the nuclear spin was then equal to the total angular momentum of the individual particles that made it up.
In 1906 Rutherford began to study what happened when massive subatomic particles, such as alpha particles, passed through matter.
The alpha particle, despite its mass, is another subatomic particle.
The electron is therefore a “subatomic particle”; the first of this sort to be discovered.
It is believed that the subatomic energy in a mass of radium is at least a million-fold greater than the energy represented in the combustion or other chemical transformation of any ordinary substance having the same mass.
The subatomic forces residing in the radioactive elements represent the most condensed form of energy of which we have any conception.
It was known shortly after experiments had been conducted on atomic and subatomic particles that grounds had at last been found by means of which a counteraction to gravity might be set up.
Early subatomic studies showed that such a force was not only theoretically possible, but that certain subparticles actually displayed such tendencies.
If it didn’t, asteroid and Planeteers would end up as subatomic particles in the sun’s photosphere, because he had calculated his blast to drive the asteroid past the limit of safety.
At some time during its first years, Mercury had been so close to the sun that its temperature was driven high enough to permit a subatomic thermo-nuclear reaction.
We returned in triumph with our fantastic but true tales of the organic planet Vita and the contemplative humanoids of Nirva who will consciousness into subjectively grasping the life and beauty of subatomic space.
I wasn't about to devote much time to them when the whole fascinating field of subatomic mirror numbers was just opening up; certainly not because a few sensational journalists were toying with dead-end notions.
The above list will hopefully give you a few useful examples demonstrating the appropriate usage of "subatomic" in a variety of sentences. We hope that you will now be able to make sentences using this word.
