Of the four known fundamental forces of nature, the weak nuclear force is the one with the least obvious purpose. Gravity holds stars together and keeps us on the ground. The electromagnetic force ...

This effort combines state-of-the-art experimental and theoretical methods and paves the way for future advances in the study of the weak nuclear force. A team of nuclear scientists from Lawrence ...

That at least is the case with the strong nuclear force, one of four fundamental forces of nature (the others being electromagnetism, gravity and the weak nuclear force). The strong force holds ...

and which is also responsible for holding atoms together), the weak nuclear force (which acts inside atomic nuclei, and is responsible for a certain kind of radioactive decay), and the strong ...
