Scientists spotlight the zeptoverse, a realm smaller than atoms

Physicists are drawing attention to the so-called zeptoverse, a scale roughly 100 billion times smaller than an atom. At this level, around a billion trillionths of a metre, particles can exist for only a trillionth of a second before interacting with others. The discussion highlights research into these fleeting phenomena, including work connected to Cern, and reflects growing public interest in extreme small-scale physics.

Why now: renewed attention on Cern-related research into ultra-short-lived subatomic particles at zeptometre scales
