DESCRIPTION:\nThe strong nuclear force binds quarks into protons and neutr
 ons\, and binds these nucleons into atomic nuclei. Despite its fundamental
  importance\, precisely determining its strength has remained challenging 
 because quarks are confined within hadrons and cannot be isolated for dire
 ct measurement.\n\nIn this talk I will review the efforts of the ALPHA col
 laboration to compute the strong coupling using lattice quantum chromodyna
 mics\, a first-principles numerical approach that requires no model assump
 tions about hadron structure. Rather than focusing on computational detail
 s\, I will emphasize the key theoretical ideas that have enabled record pr
 ecision with controlled uncertainties.\n \nThis result bridges two regimes
 : the low-energy domain where quarks are confined into hadrons\, and the h
 igh-energy regime where perturbative expansions apply. The improved precis
 ion eliminates a significant source of theoretical uncertainty in collider
  physics analyses\, enabling more stringent tests of the Standard Model.\n
