Quarks are the elementary particles that make up protons, neutrons, and other hadrons.

The strong nuclear force is the strongest of the four fundamental forces and is responsible for binding quarks together to form protons and neutrons.

The photon field is the quantum field that mediates the electromagnetic force and is responsible for the interactions between charged particles.

The W and Z bosons are the particles that mediate the weak nuclear force and are responsible for radioactive decay and neutrino interactions.

The Higgs field is a field that permeates all of space and gives mass to particles that interact with it.

The Electroweak Theory is a theory that unifies the electromagnetic and weak forces and is part of the Standard Model of Particle Physics.

Quantum Chromodynamics is a theory that describes the strong nuclear force and is part of the Standard Model of Particle Physics.

The Standard Model of Particle Physics is a theory that unifies all of the fundamental forces and describes the behavior of all known elementary particles.

The graviton is the hypothetical particle that is responsible for gravity.

String Theory is a theory that attempts to unify all of the fundamental forces, including gravity.

The Large Hadron Collider is the experiment that confirmed the existence of the Higgs boson.

The Majorana neutrino is the particle that is responsible for the neutrino mass.

The ΛCDM model is the theory that attempts to explain the dark matter and dark energy in the universe.

LUX is the experiment that is searching for dark matter.

The Dark Energy Survey is the experiment that is searching for dark energy.
