Best Answer

Particle physicists doing research in quantum mechanics use particle accelerators, which are also called "atom smashers" or "colliders".

These devices propel subatomic particles at high velocities and collide them with other subatomic particles, sometimes creating new elements, and recreating the properties of the early Universe, shortly after the Big Bang.
