What Is Particle Bombardment?

The particle bombardment method uses a particle gun to shoot small particles with DNA and other substances into the cell at high speed to achieve the introduction of genes and other substances. Particles refer to the smallest component of matter that can exist in a free state. The earliest discovered particles were atoms, electrons, and protons. In 1932, neutrons were discovered. It was confirmed that atoms consist of electrons, protons, and neutrons. They are more basic material components than atoms, so they are called basic particles. ^[1]
