Answer
David Gross, H. David Politzer, and Frank Wilczek shared the Nobel Prize in Physics in 2004 for their discovery of asymptotic freedom in quantum chromodynamics. This theory describes how the interactions between subatomic particles known as quarks become weaker at higher energies, allowing them to move more freely. This breakthrough has significantly advanced our understanding of the strong force, one of the fundamental forces governing the universe.
