  Since 1970, a major revolution has occurred in physics. Tiny particles with peculiar characteristics - quarks - have proven to be the principal constituents of matter and the active part of the core of the atom. This elementary particle is being researched in the European Atom Core Centre (Euratom) CERN in Geneva. This jargon-free book looks at this theory and the current investigations into its properties.
