The name of a very tiny unit used by physicists especially when measuring the energy changes of single atoms is called?
A tiny unit of energy, used for subatomic particles, is the electron-volt (eV). Multiples, like keV, MeV, and TeV, are also used. Because the mass-energy equivalence is quite clear in the subatomic world, the mass of particles is also often expressed in electron-volts.A tiny unit of energy, used for subatomic particles, is the electron-volt (eV).

What is opportunity in renewable energy?
Because the world is depleting resources, engineers and scientists must find a way to recycle energy, that is, renewable. In the engineering field, we try our best to recycle our materials to maximize efficiency and to minimize cost. There are lots of potential sources of energy that we, humans can harness. One is gravitational force. Is it possible to harness useful energy from gravity alone? How about the motion of the Earth wtr to the Sun? These are the type questions that will shape how we harness energy, and answers to these questions will indeed benefit the human race.
How does GeV relate to quarks?
GeV (giga-electron-volt) is simply a unit of energy, often used for subatomic particles. Because in the subatomic world the mass-energy equivalence is much more obvious than in the large-scale world, it is often also used as a unit of mass. MeV/c2 or GeV/c2 is technically more correct, but the c2 factor is often implied, i.e., omitted.
Are biofuels the future?
Yes and no. They are an important step to completely sustainable energy use throughout the world. Virtually all energy on our planet comes, in one form or another, from the sun. Once we have learned to efficiently and sustainably harvest this energy, biofuels may eventually be phased out. But they will continue their importance for a time yet as we continue to phase out the use of fossil fuels.
What are the biggest machines in the world use for?
learning more about subatomic particles
What are the biggest machines in the world used for?
Learning more about subatomic particles
How is nuclear energy used in science?
Nuclear energy is used in science in three general areas. We rely on nuclear technology in a number of areas of medicine. We also use nuclear energy to generate power. There are also research applications where nuclear physics is applied to learn and understand more about the subatomic world.
Is a measure of the average kinetic energy of the particles in an object?
Temperature. Kinetic energy in subatomic particles is due to the vibrations of these particles.
What is a description of a physicist?
physicist study the natural world from the tinest subatomic particles to the largest.
What is a name for all the subatomic particles?
There are many many subatomic particles, the main three are protons, neutrons, and electrons. Go to the Related Link below, for the relevant page at Wikipedia.org, "The World's Encyclopedia".
Why are scientists concerned about subatomic particles?
For the particles in the atom: Neutron: James Chadwick, 1932 Electron: J. J. Thomson, 1897 Proton: Ernest Rutherford, 1919
Is the neutrino the biggest machine in the world?
The neutrino is a subatomic particle in Quantum Physics. I think the machine you may be thinking of is the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), which is the world's largest, most complicated and highest-energy particle accelerator. Although it is massive (17 miles around), I don't believe it is the biggest machinein the world and I could find no evidence of it online.
