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 ...

A new measurement of the strong nuclear force, which binds protons and neutrons together, confirms previous hints of an uncomfortable truth: We still don’t have a solid theoretical grasp of even the ...

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 ...

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

"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.

String theory began over 50 years ago as a way to understand the strong nuclear force. Since then, it’s grown to become a theory of everything, capable of explaining the nature of every particle ...

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 ...

The Standard Model encompasses four forces: the strong nuclear force, the weak nuclear force, the electromagnetic force, and the gravitational force. All four forces govern the way our universe works.
