Gauge bosons are elementary particles (subatomic particles). An elementary particle is a substance that can not be broken down anymore. So to answer your question: Gauge bosons are the forces of what makes up nature. For example: Photon=electromagnetic force, gluon=strength, z and w bosons=weakness and gravitons=gravity (not yet observed). The different particles can be found on the Elementary particle table. I hope this partially answers your question.

What do bosons do?
Bosons are subatomic particles which have integer spin and obey Bose-Einstein statistics. There can be more than one boson at a given point in space with the same quantum state. Bosons are the force carriers. Known bosons are the photon (light), the gluon (strong force), the neutral weak force carrier, and the charged weak force carrier.
What are gluons made of?
point particles that are bosons, they have no internal structure.
What is a subatomic particle known as?
They are leptons, bosons, hadrons, fermions etc.
What is the differences between a w boson and a virtual photon?
W-bosons are charged and the photons are uncharged, W-bosons have a non zero rest mass and photons hsve zero rest mass. Also the W-boson is the "exchange particle" in interactions involving the weak nuclear force, but photons are the exchange particle of the electromagentic force.
How do you tell what gauge a 14 gauge chainmail ring is?
if it's 14-gauge then it's 14-gauge.
The weak force is transmitted by.?
The weak nuclear force is transmitted by gauge bosons, these bosons are W+, W- and Z bosons.
Are Gravitons sub atomic particles?
Yes, Gravitons are hypothetical sub-atomic particles / gauge bosons. These bosons are predicted to behave similarly to photons, having zero rest mass and infinite range, their force is predominant over very large distances. Like all gauge bosons, these are the mediators of what we experience as "force".
What doesn't have mass?
There are three known massless particles. Gauge bosons, gluons, and photons.
What is the simplest type of substance and cannot be broken down?
Quarks, gluons and gauge bosons are the simplest particles currently discovered.
All elements are composed of extremely small particals called?
...elementary particles... quarks, leptons, and gauge bosons electrons protons and neutrons
Does matter have to have mass to take up space?
Yes, but not all particles have to have mass. remember that those particles (photons... etc) aren't matter at all but gauge bosons. Gauge bosons occupy a single zero-dimentional point (except for when it's a wave; see particle-wave duality), because they have no mass, and thus don't take up space.
What is the standard model of particle physics?
Six quarks, six leptons, 2 weak gauge bosons, the photon, 8 gluons, the Higgs, and the hypothetical graviton
What are some examples of bosons?
Bosons are the carriers of forces. Examples are the photon, gluon, W and Z bosons, and the not yet found Higgs boson and the graviton.
What are cement brick steel and glass?
Mostly quarks, some leptons. If you ask an electrodynamical purist they'll also tell you that they are made out of gauge bosons, but how long is the nose of the emperor of china?
What is the components of an atom in elemental form?
an atom is composed of protons, neutrons, and electrons. These can be broken down further but unless you're talking about quantum physics, you don't need to go any further. protons and neutrons can be further broken down into quarks, leptons, and gauge bosons. the 6 types of quarks are; up, down, bottom, top, strange, and charm the 6 types of leptons are; electron, electron neutrino, muon, muon neutrino, tau, and tau neutrino. the 13 gauge bosons (force carriers) are; the graviton of gravity, the photon of electromagnetism, the three W and Z bosons of the weak force, and the eight gluons of the strong force.
What is smaller than a gluon?
Bosons are particles with integer spin which do not obey the Pauli Exclusion Principle, therefore a number of them may occupy the same quantum state.In general, all bosons can be classified as either mesons (composite particles) or gauge bosons (elementary bosons). Pions are examples of mesons, while photons are examples of gauge bosons.Since the name "boson" applies to a number of particles there can be no answer to this question.Bosons are part of 3 families of fundamental particles described by the Standard Model of quantum physics, and being fundamental means they have no known substructure - i.e., there isn'tanything smaller than a boson. (The same applies to quarks and leptons.)
What is all of the matter in the universe made of?
quarks and leptons, held together by gluons, W+ bosons, W- bosons, photons, and gravitons
