strong nuclear force

English

Noun

strong nuclear force (plural strong nuclear forces)

1. (nuclear physics) The color force, a fundamental force that is associated with the strong bonds, created by the associated bosons known as gluons, between quarks and other subatomic particles.
   • 2023 August 11, Nicola Davis, “Scientists may be on brink of discovering fifth force of nature”, in The Guardian‎^[1]:

     According to current understanding, there are four fundamental forces in nature, three of which – the electromagnetic force and the strong and weak nuclear forces – are explained by the standard model of particle physics.

2. (nuclear physics, dated) The nuclear force, a residual force responsible for the interactions between nucleons, deriving from the color force
