Fermions

Fermions are fundamental particles that make up matter, such as electrons, protons, and neutrons. They adhere to the Pauli Exclusion Principle, which means no two fermions can occupy the same quantum state simultaneously. This property helps explain the structure of atoms and the stability of matter. Fermions include not only particles that form atoms but also other particles called quarks. In contrast to fermions, there are bosons, which are responsible for mediating forces and can occupy the same state, allowing them to act together in different ways. Together, fermions and bosons constitute the building blocks of the universe.
