The fermions are a class of elementary particles that are defined by their 1/2 integer spin, and the fact that they make up the matter that we interact with everyday.

Fermion and Boson classifications are not entirely set in stone. While individual particles are either one or the other, systems of particles can cause the laws to fail.

The Higgs boson, aka the god particle, which physicists hope to detect with the new LHC, is the holy grail of modern particle physics. What are bosons and fermions?

Satyendra Bose and Albert Einstein published a paper in 1924 which to this day helps to explain the difference between various types of subatomic particles.

Fermions are a fundamental class of particles, and they are subdivided into two categories. Together, they serve as the building blocks of all matter.

According to Einstein's famous equation, all matter is made of energy, but all matter is also made of fundamental particles - little, discrete, bundles of energy.

Most people are familiar with the three states of matter they commonly interact with, solid, liquid, and gas, but these are hardly the only states of matter.

Fundamental constituents called fermions bind together and form composite particles. These particles constitute most of the mass of atoms.

Fermilab's Tevatron is trying to make more scientific news before Europe's huge Large Hadron Collider completes repairs and begins operations again in the Spring of 2009.
