The electromagnetic force ensures the stability of atoms and makes chemistry happen. The strong nuclear force holds the kernels of matter, atomic nuclei, together, and powers the burning of stars.

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 ...

In 2020, a group of MIT researchers detected an anomaly in the nuclei of ytterbium atoms. They said that the nuclei’s strange ...

P rotons sit in the nuclei of all atoms, but they are not fundamental particles: They are made of three quarks held together by the strong nuclear force.The strength of this interaction is ...

Most of this matter is found at the core of atoms, the same atoms that comprise all we see ... Physicists in this field explore the nature of the strong force by studying the theory of Quantum ...
