The strong and weak nuclear forces are subatomic forces that govern interactions within atomic nuclei.
The discovery of quarks revolutionized our understanding of the subatomic structure of matter.
The deterministic nature of classical physics was challenged by the advent of quantum mechanics, which introduced elements of indeterminacy at the subatomic level.
Quantum mechanics, a branch of physics, describes the behavior of particles at the atomic and subatomic levels, revealing the fundamental principles governing the microscopic world.
