A meson is a subatomic particle that consists of one quark and one antiquark, bound together by a formidable force. The strong force is the strongest of all four forces, and it is responsible for holding protons and neutrons together in atoms and binding quarks together to form hadrons like mesons. Mesons are produced in… Read More

A quark is a subatomic particle that is one of the fundamental constituents of matter. Quarks are the building blocks of hadrons, particles that contain an even number of valence quarks. There are six types, or “flavors,” of quarks: up, down, strange, charm, top, and bottom. In addition, quarks come in three “colors”: red, green,… Read More

Subatomic particles are the building blocks of atoms. They are the small, basic units that make up all matter. There are three types of subatomic particles: protons, neutrons, and electrons. Protons have a positive charge, neutrons have no charge, and electrons have a negative charge. The number of protons in an atom determines what element… Read More
