Particle physicists are always on the lookout for new elementary particles as they force a swarm of protons and electrons to collide within particle accelerators. The most famous of these is the Large Hadron Collider near Geneva, Switzerland, finding the Higgs boson in 2012. But now physicists are theorising new particles that could be out there.
The Standard Model of particle physics requires people to understand something even smaller than a particle. To put it as simply as possible, it is a list of the fundamental particles and forces which make up everything in the cosmos. This model was devised in the 1970s and has enabled physicists to prove the existence of several particles – it’s
