← Back to Matter by scale

An interaction is a process by which particles influence one another through fundamental forces. In quantum theory, interactions are described as exchanges mediated by bosons.

Particles interact by exchanging force-carrying bosons in quantum field theory.

Description

Interactions determine how particles behave and combine. In modern physics, they are understood in terms of quantum fields, where particles interact through the exchange of quanta of these fields.

The known fundamental interactions include electromagnetic, weak, strong, and gravitational interactions.

Properties

  • mediated by bosons
  • governs particle behavior and structure
  • linked to underlying fields
