The particles that are in an atom: protons, neutrons and electrons The particles that are in protons and neutrons: quarks The four fundamental forces: gravity, electromagnetism, the strong force and ...

Particle physics seeks to understand the fundamental constituents of matter and the forces that govern their interactions. The field has evolved from early studies of protons, neutrons and electrons ...

Picture a particle physicist. What do they look like as they do their research? There's a certain popular image of what a scientist looks like while they make their discoveries, according to Dr.
