Quarks are a fundamental part of matter, making up protons and neutrons in the atomic nucleus. They are smaller than atoms and molecules.
The Higgs Boson is often referred to as the 'God Particle' because it is responsible for giving mass to other particles, confirming the mechanism that gives elementary particles mass.
The strong nuclear force is the force that holds protons and neutrons together in the nucleus of an atom.
The photon is the carrier of electromagnetic force, playing a fundamental role in electromagnetic interactions and phenomena such as light and radiation.
The neutron is a heavy particle that exists in stable atomic nuclei. It has no electric charge and contributes to the atomic mass.
The concept of antimatter is most relevant in Particle Physics, which studies particles and forces along with their opposites, like antiparticles.
Electrons are fermions, a class of particles that follow Fermi-Dirac statistics and form the building blocks of matter.
Entanglement is a quantum phenomenon where particles become interconnected, and changes to one instantly reflect on the other, disregarding the distance between them.
The W and Z bosons are the primary carriers of the weak nuclear force, responsible for processes like beta decay in nuclear physics.
The Higgs boson completes the Standard Model of particle physics by confirming the theory that explains how particles acquire mass through the Higgs mechanism.
