Choose an answer

A.molecules
B.atoms
C.elements
D.particles
Hint: It's a word with 9 letters, starting with "P".

Answer

particles

Why this is the answer

Physicists accelerate subatomic particles to tremendous speeds, and dropping the leading letter from 'particles' leaves 'articles' - the written pieces found in newspapers, magazines, and journals.
