relating to particles or forces that exist within atoms, including particles smaller than atoms themselves or the interactions between these particles
- Subatomic particles interact through fundamental forces, such as electromagnetism and the strong and weak nuclear forces.
- Subatomic particles, like electrons, protons, and neutrons, are the building blocks of atoms.
- Subatomic particles can be studied using particle accelerators and detectors in high-energy physics experiments.
- Quantum mechanics describes the behavior of subatomic particles on the smallest scales.
- The strong and weak nuclear forces are subatomic forces that govern interactions within atomic nuclei.
