Noun
(nuclear physics) The force that acts between nucleons and binds protons and neutrons into atomic nuclei; the residual strong force
(nuclear physics) The strong interaction that binds quarks and gluons together to form nucleons; the colour force
Source: en.wiktionary.orgCertainly the existence of these huge nuclear force was important for the ultimate confrontation, let's say, over western Europe. You just can't use them to deal with a situation like Afghanistan. Lloyd Cutler
If we are really on the way towards a political entity with a common foreign policy on basic issues, then I consider that France's nuclear force should be available to serve that policy. Jacques Delors
Accelerated to high speeds, they can overcome this electrostatic repulsion and be forced close enough for the attractive nuclear force to be sufficiently strong to achieve fusion. Source: Internet
A mix of D-T at standard conditions does not undergo fusion; the nuclei must be forced together before the nuclear force can pull them together into stable collections. Source: Internet
Because of the strength of the nuclear force at short distances, the binding energy of nucleons is more than seven orders of magnitude larger than the electromagnetic energy binding electrons in atoms. Source: Internet
But orbital angular momentum of either particle gives a lower binding energy for the system, primarily due to increasing distance of the particles in the steep gradient of the nuclear force. Source: Internet
