This "side effect" is called the "residual strong force" or the "nuclear force," and it is what holds atomic nuclei together in spite of the repulsive electromagnetic force between the positively ...

Symmetry has been considered an unshakable property in physics, but strange quark behavior caused it to fail in a scientific experiment.

A new study demonstrates that these drastically different scales can be explained through calculations based on the strong nuclear force. The research also predicts that the atomic nucleus neon-30 ...

Today, the universe as we know it is governed by four fundamental forces: the strong nuclear force, the weak nuclear force, ...

"Extending the Bridge Connecting Chiral Lagrangians and QCD Gaussian Sum-Rules for Low-Energy Hadronic Physics," offers significant advancements in the understanding of the strong nuclear force.

The ancient dream of turning lead into gold is now a reality – but it’s not quite what the alchemists might have hoped for.

Usually, you can only cram so many neutrons into a nucleus before it just falls apart, due to the repulsive effects of the strong nuclear force resisting cohesion. But the gravity of the neutron ...

Protons and neutrons are tightly bound together by the strong nuclear force — the most powerful of all the fundamental forces. Wavelengths that can induce a nucleus transition oscillate at ...
