Alpha particles are He\high{2+} (helium nucleus) not to be confused with He\low{2} (helium molecules) that DO exist but are unstable and only last 13 seconds or so. Someone needs to fix the wiki... (done!) \lohi[left]{}{4}He is a boson; \lohi[left]{}{3} is a fermion. By the way, \lohi[left]{2}{4}He is somewhat a tautology, like all such isotopic nomenclature, as He ALWAYS has an atomic number of 2, otherwise it is not He (and U ALWAYS has an atomic number of 92, otherwise it is no longer U).
