A [[Wilson Particles|Wilson Particle]] is a unique type of subatomic particle that when passed through an energetic material or supersaturated material, causes a rapid [[nucleation]] of that material, in some cases creating rapid expansion of the newly created nuclei which in turn cause the summary expansion of the material so affected. This releases a inordinate amount of heat and energy as the expansion takes place.

Three bars of Wilson Particles were sufficient to release 4.3 kJ of energy, in the Rosenante's Science Labs. This energy release was enough to cause interference with delicate equipment and to release enough energy to destroy a testing chamber. | Three bars of Wilson Particles were sufficient to release 4.3 kJ of energy, in the Rosenante's Science Labs.
