Detailed knowledge of the physical properties of the building blocks of matter is fundamental to our understanding of the Universe. These building blocks include the protons, neutrons and electrons that make up an atom, and physicists continue to strive to measure the mass, size, electric charge and magnetic properties of these subatomic particles with ever-greater precision in order to advance our understanding of the physical world.
