WordDefinition
masslessHaving no mass.
fermionsnoun(particle physics, Standard Model) Any elementary or composite particle that has half-integer spin and thus obeys Fermi–Dirac statistics and the Pauli exclusion principle (equivalently, a particle for which the wavefunction of any system of identical such particles changes sign whenever two are swapped); a baryon, a lepton or a quark;
antiparticlesnoun(particle physics) A subatomic particle corresponding to another particle with the same mass, spin and mean lifetime but with charge, parity, strangeness and other quantum numbers flipped in sign; a particle that has a reversed world line to another.
leptonsnoun(proscribed) Alternative form of lepton. [A coin used since ancient times in Greece, serving in modern times as one hundredth of a phoenix, a drachma, and a euro (as the Greek form of the Eurocent).]
nucleonsnounA proton (uud) or a neutron (udd).
hadronsnoun(particle physics) A composite particle that comprises two or more quarks held together by the strong force and (consequently) can interact with other particles via said force; a meson or a baryon.
electronsnoun(informal) The digital or electronic version of a document.
atomsnouna privately held footwear brand, based in Brooklyn, New York, that designs, develops and sells footwear.
gravitonsnouna gauge boson that mediates the (extremely weak) gravitational interactions between particles
superfluidnoun(physics) A substance, such as liquid helium, that exhibits superfluidity.
photonsnoun(particle physics) The quantum of light and other electromagnetic energy, regarded as a discrete particle having zero rest mass, no electric charge, and an indefinitely long lifetime. It is a gauge boson.
gluonsnoun(particle physics) A massless gauge boson that binds quarks together to form baryons, mesons and other hadrons and is associated with the strong nuclear force.
quarksnouna German television programme produced by WDR.
momentanounMomenta Global Limited (shortened to Momenta) is a developer of intelligent driving technologies, based in Beijing and Suzhou, China.
antiprotonsnoun(physics) The antiparticle of the proton, having a negative electric charge.
phononnoun(physics) The quantum of acoustic or vibrational energy (sound), considered a discrete particle rather than a wave.
mesonnoun(now specifically, particle physics) An elementary particle that is composed of a quark and an antiquark, such as a kaon or pion. (Mesons composed of rarer quarks are much heavier.)
antiquarksnoun(particle physics) The antiparticle of a quark.
orbitalsnoun(physics) A specification of the energy and probability density of one or more electrons at any point in an atom or molecule, representable as a wave function.
van der waalsnounA surname from Dutch. Alternative form of Vanderwaals.
