weak nuclear interaction
noun
The fundamental interaction responsible for the weak nuclear force.
Exact(1)
The laboratory could boast just one ground-breaking result since it had set up shop: the detection in 1973 of neutral currents, which provided the first inkling of the electroweak theory that unified electromagnetism and the weak nuclear interaction, two of the four fundamental forces of nature, in one elegant mathematical framework.
