What is a particle

Elementary vs Fine Particles: The question embodied in the title might seem strange until you consider the many different ways particles play a part in science and engineering. For example, if you do a web search using just the word particle, you will get more hits for atomic, nuclear, and elementary or subatomic particles than you will for pharmaceutical particles, nanoparticles, clay particles, etc. You will get a lot of hits for particle accelerators, particle colliders, particle physics as well as a few hits that really interest you.
