Harvard University zSB(3,3) One of the most startling discoveries over the 20th century was how many elementary particles that exist in the universe. Though the concept of fundamental, indivisible particles goes back to the ancient Greeks (a concept known as atomism ), it wasn't really until the 1900s that physicists began to explore what was going inside matter at the smallest levels. In fact, quantum physics predicts that there are just 18 types of elementary particles (16 of which have been detected by experiment already). It is the goal of elementary particle physics to continue searching for the remaining particles. The Standard Model of Particle Physics The Standard Model of Particle Physics is at the core of modern physics. In this model, three of the

The incredibly tiny world of quantum particle physics is bizarre and baffling, but absolutely fascinating. It takes a bit of a genius to make any sense of it and then getting them to explain it to us mere mortals is a real challenge! Basically everything in the universe, including the table you are sitting at, the carpet, the walls, the dust on your keyboard are all made up of fuzzy particles that are impossible to pin down and probably truly exist in at least 10 dimensions of time and space! It's all a bit hard to grasp so the aim of this site is to try to make some sense of it all! "Not only is the universe stranger than we imagine, it is stranger than we can imagine."

If an elementary particle truly has no substructure, then it is one of the basic building blocks of the universe from which all other particles are made. In the Standard Model , the quarks leptons , and gauge bosons are elementary particles. Historically, the hadrons mesons and baryons such as the proton and neutron ) and even whole atoms were once regarded as elementary particles. A central feature in elementary particle theory is the early 20th century idea of " quanta ", which revolutionized the understanding of

The stuff you scrape off burnt toast is made primarily of atoms of carbon. But what makes up a carbon atom or any other atom? The first subatomic particle to be identified was the electron, in 1898. Ten years later, Ernest Rutherford discovered that atoms have a very dense nucleus, which contains protons. In 1932, James Chadwick discovered the neutron, another particle located within the nucleus. And so scientists thought they had found the smallest atomic building blocks. This changed in 1963 when Murray Gell-Mann proposed his quark theory. Gell-Mann believed that each proton and each neutron is made up of three even smaller particles particles he named quarks. Physicists have learned a great deal over the past 100 years. For instance, it is now known that in each atom of carbon , there are a set number of subatomic particles: six electrons, six protons, and six neutrons. The atom's nucleus and electrons are held together by the electromagnetic force the postitive charges of the protons balances the negative charges of the electrons. Neutrons have no charge.

See all Nuclear Science articles Nuclear Power Videos Early in the 20th century, we discovered the structure of the atom . We found that the atom was made of smaller pieces called subatomic particles most notably the proton, neutron, and electron. However, experiments conducted in the second half of the 20th century with "atom smashers," or particle accelerators , revealed that the subatomic structure of the atom was much more complex. Particle accelerators can take a particle, such as an electron, speed it up to near the speed of light , collide it with an atom and thereby discover its internal parts.
