Strong Nuclear Force: The Mightiest Force in Nature

The strong nuclear force is the most powerful force in the universe.
It binds protons and neutrons together in the atomic nucleus.
Without it, nuclei would fly apart from proton repulsion.
It acts only at extremely short ranges—less than a femtometer.
Gluons are the particles that carry the strong force between quarks.
Inside protons and neutrons, the strong force keeps quarks confined.
The strong force is 100 times stronger than electromagnetism.
Its residual effect is what holds entire nuclei together.
High-energy particle accelerators help us study this mighty force.
The strong force powers the Sun through fusion, giving life energy on Earth.
