The axion is extremely lightweight with neither electric charge nor spin , so it hardly interacts with the universe 's surrounding matter - that 's if the particle even exists .
In axion 's new battery the negative electrode is replaced with one made from activated carbon , a material used in supercapacitors .
在axion的新电池里,负极被活性炭,在超级电容器(双电层电容器)中应用的材料,的制造物代替。
In tests , axion says , its pbcs withstood more than 1600 charges and deep discharges before failure , which is three times better than standard lead-acid batteries that are specifically designed for such deep cycles .
A team led by x-ray astronomer hugh hudson of uc berkeley says , however , that they are onto a promising and new way to search for the axion : looking inside the sun .
The x-ray images to date , hudson said , have turned up empty of axion signatures .
赫德森说,到目前为止从这些x射线图像上还没有发现轴子的信号。
They are manufacturing intense magnetic fields in the hopes of detecting microwave signals of an axion decaying into a single , real photon .
他们正在制造强磁场,希望能够检测出正在衰变成真实单一光子的轴子微波信号。
Meanwhile , america 's marines are testing a special version of axion 's battery in some of their assault vehicles .
同时,美国海军陆战队也在一些战车上测试特别版本的axion电池。
And in the axion dark matter experiment at lawrence livermore national laboratory in california , astrophysicist karl van bibber and his colleagues hope to create their own axions .
