Recorded use
Wiktionary examplesThese source excerpts show how particulaire appears in context. They illustrate usage; the definition above remains the entry’s reference meaning.
Il ne peut y avoir de doute pour moi que la matière particulaire ne possède pas par elle-même du mouvement, qu’elle n’en prend d’une façon visible, dans certains cas, que pour se désénergétiser lorsqu’elle est énergétisée avec excès.
Ainsi, le modèle particulaire (ou modèle corpusculaire) est un modèle scientifique basé sur l'idée que la matière est composée de particules.
