The Weak Nuclear Force is one of the four fundamental forces of nature, responsible for processes like beta decay in atomic nuclei. It plays a crucial role in the interactions of subatomic particles, particularly in the transformation of neutrons into protons and vice versa. This force is much weaker than the strong nuclear force but is essential for the stability of matter and the processes that power stars. It operates at very short ranges, typically less than the diameter of a proton, making it a unique and vital component of particle physics.
