Particle physics is the study of the basic elements of matter, such as atoms. Because of his work on this field, he was awarded the Nobel Prize in 1968. He received this important world honor for discovering better ways of identifying “subatomic particles,” the invisible elements that constitute the atom. His discoveries also include improvements to devices used to study atoms and the particles that form them, such as the particle accelerator and the bubble chamber. |
