A hadron is a particle that is composed of quarks, which are the fundamental constituents of matter. The most common hadrons are the proton and neutron, which are found in atoms. Hadrons can be either bosons or fermions, depending on their spin. Bosonic hadrons have integer spin (0, 1, 2), while fermionic hadrons have half-integer… Read More

A gluon is a force carrier that mediates the strong nuclear force between quarks. The strong nuclear force is responsible for holding together the nuclei of atoms. Gluons are also responsible for the color charge of quarks, which determines how they interact with each other via the powerful force. Gluons create the colors of quarks.… Read More

The strong nuclear force is one of the four fundamental forces of nature. It is responsible for the binding of nucleons (protons and neutrons) in atoms and molecules. The strong nuclear force is a very short-range force, acting only over distances of about 1 femtometer (10^-15 meters). This means that it has no effect on… Read More
