Supersymmetry is a theoretical framework in particle physics proposing a symmetry between particles of integer spin (bosons) and particles of half-integer spin (fermions), under which every known particle would have a partner particle of different spin.

Supersymmetry is a theoretical framework in physics that suggests the existence of a symmetry between particles with integer spin (bosons) and particles with half-integer spin (fermions). It proposes that for every known particle, there exists a partner particle with different spin properties.
