About Quanta Magazine
Quanta Magazine’s goal is to enhance public understanding of science. Our reporters focus on developments in mathematics, theoretical physics, theoretical computer science and the basic life sciences. At Quanta, scientific accuracy is every bit as important as telling a good story. And having editorial independence ensures the impartiality of our science coverage, so while our publication was launched by the Simons Foundation, our articles do not necessarily reflect or represent the foundation’s views.

Every particle in the Standard Model is either a fermion or a boson. Quantum rules govern how these particles occupy space. Fermions, which cannot occupy the same space, are matter particles, while bosons, which can overlap, are force particles.

Thank you, @PulitzerPrizes committee. We feel deeply honored and thrilled, particularly for this recognition of our wonderfully talented and hard-working colleague Natalie Wolchover, who has been a big part of Quanta since the beginning.
