| To study subatomic particles, physicists build giant accelerators that smash the particles together. |
| Not only do condensed matter physicists use accelerators, but particle physicists use superconductors and solid-state detectors. |
| However there were concepts in the new quantum theory which gave major worries to many leading physicists. |
| Most of these physicists, after all, were not exactly quarterbacking the football team in high school. |
| For this reason physicists sought the quantum theory of electromagnetism or quantum electrodynamics. |
| There are two types of quasiparticles, Bose and Fermi, and physicists around the globe are exploring the properties of each type. |
