I have spotted the tracks of the dust particles.

Dr. Peter Tsou

(The extra headroom) gives us easy access to clean the dust, grain particles and fines from underneath the drying floor. It also helps to keep insects out during storage.

Clay Mitchell

You're just a collection of particles that have come together by chance and by natural selection.

John Calvert

Comets are thought to be icy dirtballs made up of exotic ices, dust, and rock particles.

Donald Yeomans

We didn't have enough energy to create them in a lab. That means they are heavy particles, but we cannot create them due to limited amounts of resources.

Hitoshi Murayama

Electricity is actually made up of extremely tiny particles called electrons, that you cannot see with the naked eye unless you have been drinking.

Dave Barry

You'll see people wearing protective gear. Our concern is (contamination) from us to the particles, not the other way.

Tom Duxbury

Particles of the allergen -- in this particular case, peanuts -- are small enough to actually float in the air, ... If they land on someone who is allergic, land in their eyes or in their nose, they can cause them an actual allergic reaction.

David Tanner

It's a powder that is put into an inhaling device that makes the powder burst into fine particles that are then inhaled into the lungs.

Jan Oakley

There are other families of particles out there that can form massive compact objects.

Christopher Reynolds

How the jet can be packed full of high energy particles, going at near the speed of light and staying so thin is really puzzling.

Wallace Tucker

The nano-particles in the coating strongly attract the water droplets and force them to form much smaller contact angles with the surface.

Michael Rubner

Now we know that these small particles are really dangerous, so we need to adapt to that new knowledge.

Roberto Bertollini

We found a dramatic decrease in particles. There is something like a 70 percent decrease in particles in the pub and that makes it quite similar to outdoor air in Dublin, which is quite good.

Luke Clancy

They wanted to fire one X-ray photon at a hydrogen molecule, knock both electrons back, and the two nuclei would explode apart. Then, they wanted to catch all four particles and figure out the orientation of the molecule in space: how far apart were the nuclei, where did the electrons go for that orientation and what were their distances.

William Mccurdy

Key would be the detection of carbon and nitrogen containing particles.

Chris Mckay

That's why the ceramic form of the plutonium is an important safety feature. The ceramic fractures into chunks and large particles, which are not breathable and can be cleaned up.

Alice Caponiti

We hope that one of these new particles that may get created will be this dark energy particle.

Hitoshi Murayama

We hope to eventually be able to predict major events on the sun and to evaluate the impact of magnetic particles hitting the earth.

Richard Behnke

It is the compaction of everyone driving on the sand. These completely microscopic particles just don't settle.

Julie Regan

Hail is dirt particles that water forms on and freezes. The ionic pressure from the cannons keeps it from forming when we've got storms. They go off, and we don't have hail. We've had hail out on the highway in front of the plant, but not at the plant.

David A. Boyer

If the particles are one micron (wide, or one-millionth of a meter), they'll make a track that is about 100 microns long.

Andrew Westphal

Neutron stars are incredible laboratories for learning about the physics of the fundamental particles of nature, and this pulsar has given us an important new limit.

Scott Ransom

We're the first to be able to tell you both the location of the particles and what kind of particles they are.

Mark Davidson

I think there is no chance that the blue ring is caused by geyser activity. We don't know what the composition of the particles is.

Imke De Pater

If I could remember the names of all these particles, I'd be a botanist.

Enrico Fermi
