On one side of the membrane, hydrogen is decomposed into its constituent electrons and protons.

Well, we still don't quite understand the exact nature of dark matter, but highly precise measurements of positron fraction (the ratio of positrons to electrons and protons) do bring us a small step closer to proving the existence of the theoretical material.

The Sun's magnetic field and solar wind - mainly in the form of electrons and protons coming out of the Sun - protects the entire Solar System by acting as a sort of shield from cosmic rays (very energetic particles and radiation from outer space).

This (put your analyst on danger money) means magnetised graphene is inhabited by quasiparticles, which have the quantum properties of real particles (electrons, protons and so on) without actually being particles.

The argument that cyberspace is somehow different because it is man made forgets that it is built upon natural wave forms, human emotions, electrons, protons, and neutrons just like the ocean, land, and air.

On its own, the pressure exerted by the protons and electrons of the solar wind is even more feeble than the photon pressure.

Stars form most easily from molecular hydrogen, but for the first few million years, most hydrogen would have been ionised into protons and electrons.

At the cathode, the protons and the electrons react with oxygen from the air to make water which, to the joy of environmentalists, is the only waste product of such a cell.

They now know there aren't just three types of particles protons, neutrons and electrons but rather, thousands of them.

Rutherford realised that this is because atoms are made of a dense nucleus later found to consist of protons and neutrons surrounded by a diffuse cloud of orbiting electrons.
