Encyclopedia > Messenger particle

Messenger particles are sub-atomic particles that are exchanged between matter and are responsible for force, (i.e., electromagnetic). An example of a messenger particle is a photon, which is responsible for the electromagnetic force. A graviton is the messenger particle believed to be responsible for the gravitational force, however its existence has yet to be experimentally confirmed.
