What are protons and neutrons made of?

The CERN Large Hadron Collider officially verified their earlier findings of the Higgs-Boson particle. If you're interested in understanding more about antimatter and what protons are made of, you can check out CERN's education website. The power point presentations on this site relate protons, neutrons and electrons (which we are learning about now in class) to quarks, positrons and antimatter.

Jacob M. also informed me of some really cool youtube videos put together by physicists that work at CERN called 60 symbols . Anyone can write in to these scientists and they will do their best to answer the questions.

Science is an expression of the human spirit, which reaches every sphere of human culture. It gives an aim and meaning to existence as well as a knowledge, understanding, love and admiration for the world.
