The '''strong force''' (also known as the strong nuclear force) is one of the four [[fundamental interactions|fundamental forces]] of nature. Strong force interactions are mediated fundamentally by the [[gluon]]. The strong force is responsible for binding quarks into [[meson]]s and [[baryon]]s. The strong force is also responsible for binding [[proton]]s and [[neutron]]s together in the nuclei of atom, overcoming the electrostatic repulsion of the protons. However in this case, the strong force is mediated by [[meson]]s.
