What is a subatomic explorer?

A subatomic explorer is a device or experiment designed to study particles and phenomena at the subatomic level, such as electrons, protons, and neutrons. These explorers help scientists understand the fundamental building blocks of matter and the forces that govern their interactions.


What device is used to study tracks left by subatomic particles?

A particle detector is used to study tracks left by subatomic particles. These detectors can be based on various technologies such as silicon detectors, scintillation detectors, or cloud chambers. They help in measuring the properties of particles such as charge, energy, and momentum.
