Example Sentences

Supersymmetry is the concept that known particles – such as electrons, quarks and photons – have a heavier and as-yet-undetected "superpartner".

We suggest therefore that the expression "super-symmetry" might be more appropriate for the global concept and reserve the word "gauge" for local symmetries.
