  1. Boson - Wikipedia

    In particle physics, a boson (/ ˈboʊzɒn / [1] / ˈboʊsɒn / [2]) is a subatomic particle whose spin quantum number has an integer value (0, 1, 2, ...). Bosons form one of the two fundamental …

  2. DOE Explains...Bosons and Fermions | Department of Energy

    Bosons are the fundamental particles that have spin in integer values (0, 1, 2, etc.). Fermions, on the other hand, have spin in odd half integer values (1/2, 3/2, and 5/2, but not 2/2 or 6/2).

  3. Boson | Elementary, Force Carrier & Quantum | Britannica

    Bosons include mesons (e.g., pions and kaons), nuclei of even mass number (e.g., helium-4), and the particles required to embody the fields of quantum field theory (e.g., photons and gluons).

  4. What are bosons? | Space

    Sep 21, 2022 · Bosons are at the heart of interactions between matter, carry the universe's fundamental forces, and help the constituents of matter stick together.

  5. What Are Bosons and What Do They Do? - Biology Insights

    Bosons are a fundamental type of particle that influences everything from the light we see to the stability of matter. Their unique characteristics underpin many phenomena, helping to unravel …

  6. Science Made Simple: What Are Bosons and Fermions?

    Oct 1, 2024 · Bosons and fermions are fundamental particles, distinguished by their quantum spin. Bosons, with integer spin, can share quantum states, while fermions, with half-integer …

  7. Boson Explained: Types, Properties & Examples in Physics - Vedantu

    What Are Bosons in Physics? Bosons are a class of fundamental/elementary subatomic particles in particle physics, named after an Indian Physicist and Professor at the University of Calcutta …

  8. Bosons: key particles mediating universal forces.

    May 29, 2025 · Bosons are a class of particles that follow Bose-Einstein statistics, responsible for mediating forces in the universe. Unlike fermions, they do not obey the Pauli exclusion …

  9. Bosons | Research Starters - EBSCO

    The weak nuclear interaction is responsible for radioactive decay and is communicated through particles known as weak bosons (weakons) or, more typically, intermediate vector bosons.

  10. Boson Definition - Physical Science Key Term | Fiveable

    Bosons include particles such as photons, W and Z bosons, gluons, and the Higgs boson, each playing distinct roles in mediating forces. Unlike fermions, bosons can exist in the same place …
