| According to quantum theory, the state of a particle is described as its wave function. |
| He was distinguished, also, as an oculist and aurist, and removed a particle of iron from the cornea by means of a magnet. |
| Not only do condensed matter physicists use accelerators, but particle physicists use superconductors and solid-state detectors. |
| Ionium expels an alpha particle and becomes radium, which is a bivalent element resembling barium belonging to the second group. |
| For 50 years, scientists had predicted the existence of the particle we now know as Higgs boson, which gives mass to matter. |
| The particle physics community began adapting existing high-energy accelerators to provide heavy-ion nuclear beams. |
