1. Asymptotic Freedom

   Linked via "Hugh David Politzer"

   Asymptotic freedom is a property of certain quantum field theories, most famously Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD), in which the interaction strength between fundamental particles becomes weaker as the energy scale of the interaction increases, or equivalently, as the distance between the particles decreases. This phenomenon is characterized by the running of the coupling constant of the theory.
