David Gross's research helped in understanding the forces that bind what?

  • Atoms

  • Neurons

  • Quarks

  • Galaxies

Answer

Quarks, the elementary particles that make up protons and neutrons, are bound together by the strong nuclear force. David Gross's research in quantum chromodynamics (QCD) provided crucial insights into the behavior of quarks and gluons, the carriers of the strong force, explaining how quarks are confined within hadrons and how the strong force becomes weak at larger distances.
