“The particles are so small they should not last very long. You couldn't have the E ring just sit there for the age of the solar system. It had to be regenerated somehow.”
John Spencer
“The fluorocarbon particles are pretty small, and you don't want those sitting in your lungs.”
Chris Hall
“For everything exists and not one sigh nor smile nor tear, one hair nor particle of dust, not one can pass away.”
William Blake
“Particles have been used to stabilize emulsions and foams for over 100 years. However, we've demonstrated that not only are particles useful for making bubbles last longer, they fundamentally alter the properties of these bubbles. Instead of behaving like a fluid surface that flows to balance unequal stresses, the 'armor' of particles on the surface of the bubbles actually supports the unequal stresses inherent in non-spherical shapes.”
Anand Bala Subramaniam
“The prediction was that we would get a dozen particles larger than human hair size and one particle a little bit larger than a millimeter.”
Donald Brownlee

“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.”
