And particles of sound, known as phonons, are just as susceptible to Heisenberg's uncertainty principle as particles of light (photons) -or, indeed, any other fundamental particle.
Particle physicists define elementary particles or fundamental particles as the smallest building blocks in the universe.
A fundamental particle is created when three ribbons are joined in a "plait".
In this it will resemble the top quark, the latest fundamental particle to have been detected.
The positive energy develops into fundamental particle, and the negative energy develops into negative energy field.
Rather, it would focus its attention on a different fundamental particle, one that is rather neglected by human technologists.
They propose that each so-called fundamental particle actually contains a tiny, vibrating, one-dimensional loop of string.
