Curious about why protons don't repel each other in the nucleus despite having the same positive charge? It's all due to the strong nuclear force and the vital role of mesons! Mesons are the particles that mediate this force, acting like glue to keep protons and neutrons tightly bound in the nucleus. Discover how mesons work and why they are essential for the stability of atomic nuclei.
