Particle physics: Hard-core revelations
Frank Wilczek1
Abstract
Our description of how the atomic nucleus holds together has up to now been entirely empirical. Arduous calculations starting from the theory of the strong nuclear force provide a new way into matter's hard core.
Our quest to understand the force that holds atomic nuclei together has turned out to be a glorious adventure. Along the way we have found quarks, the coloured gluons that mediate the strong nuclear force, and a wonderful theory — quantum chromodynamics, or QCD.
