What's the smallest thing in the universe

Protons and neutrons can be further broken down: they're both made up of things called “quarks.” As far as we can tell, quarks can't be broken down into smaller components, making them the smallest things we know of.

What is smaller than a quark?

In particle physics, preons are point particles, conceived of as sub-components of quarks and leptons. The word was coined by Jogesh Pati and Abdus Salam, in 1974.

What is the smallest things in the universe?

Quarks are among the smallest particles in the universe, and they carry only fractional electric charges. Scientists have a good idea of how quarks make up hadrons, but the properties of individual quarks have been difficult to tease out because they can't be observed outside of their respective hadrons.

Is a quark The smallest thing?

Quarks (along with electrons) remain the smallest things we know, and as far as we can tell, they could still be infinitely small.

What's the thinnest thing in existence?

We can't see graphene with the naked eye. It is the thinnest material ever discovered. A sheet of graphene is 1,000 times thinner than a human hair. In fact, the scientists who discovered it were only able to see the graphene flakes because they had placed them on a wafer of silicon oxide.
