Gluons are elementary particles that act as the exchange particles for the strong force between quarks, analogous to the exchange of photons in the electromagnetic force between two charged particles. In technical terms, they are vector gauge bosons that mediate strong interactions of quarks in quantum chromodynamics. Gluons themselves carry color charge, unlike the colorless photon, and therefore participate in the strong interaction in addition to mediating it, making QCD significantly harder to analyze than QED.
