This force is currently explained by quantum chromodynamics, which describes the interactions of gluons and quarks.
Attempts to understand this force have included Regge [REG-gee] theory, dual resonance, and string theory. The existence of this force caused Hideki Yukawa to predict the existence of mesons, and his predictions matched the measurements of pions [PIE-ons]. This force is currently explained by quantum chromodynamics, which describes the interactions of gluons and quarks. Name this interaction with a very small range that is used to explain the attractions of particles in an atomic nucleus.
