Gluon
From the Simple English Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia that anyone can change
Gluons are what hold quarks together to make bigger particles. Gluons carry the strong force between other quarks, so it is considered a force carrying particle. Photons do the same thing, but for the electromagnetic force. Also like photons, gluons are spin-1 particles, and when a particle has spin-1 it is considered a boson.
