Why do we have particle colliders and electron microscopes but no subatomic particle colliders or sub atomic particle microscopes?
In: Physics
Most sub-atomic particles are either very short lived or are not (and cannot be) found isolated. In either case, it would be infeasible to manipulate them (either in colliders or as microscopes). The best that can be done is to detect them (and most of the time, indirectly)
