Strange Particle

Definition:

A strange particle refers to a subatomic particle that carries a property called strangeness, which is a quantum number associated with strong interactions. Strange particles decay promptly into other particles due to the weak and strong nuclear forces.

Usage:

1. Noun - In particle physics, strange particles play a significant role in understanding the behavior of subatomic particles.

2. Adjective - The collision of two particles resulted in the creation of a strange particle.

Examples:

1. Noun:

- "The discovery of strange particles has revolutionized our understanding of the fundamental building blocks of the universe."

- "Scientists are continuously studying the properties and behavior of strange particles using advanced particle accelerators."

2. Adjective:

- "The strange particle decayed rapidly, releasing energy in the form of other particles."

- "The identification of a strange particle in the experiment confirmed the existence of a new subatomic particle."
