A story of how we all can benefit
Particle physicists study matter at the very smallest scale, an exploration of the structure and interactions of the most fundamental particles that make up everything in the universe, from stars to starfish. The United States government, through the Department of Energy and the National Science Foundation, supports several large accelerator laboratories where thousands of university physicists from across the U.S. collaborate on particle physics research.
