STOCKHOLM, Sweden - Americans David J. Gross, H. David Politzer and Frank Wilczeck won the 2004 Nobel Prize in physics on Tuesday for their exploration of the force that binds particles inside the atomic nucleus.
The trio, researchers at the University of California, Santa Barbara, the California Institute of Technology and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, made important theoretical discoveries "concerning the strong force, or the 'color force' as it is also called," the foundation said.
"The strong force is the one that is dominant in the atomic nucleus, acting between the quarks inside the proton and the neutron."
