Gluons are bosons which mediate the force binding quarks to one another within a hadron (a particle made of quarks, such as a proton or neutron). No one person can take credit for first developing this theory, as quantum mechanics and the Standard Model are still developing. As these paradigms continued to develop in the 1960s and 1970s, the gluon hypothesis was found to explain a lot of observations that were easily explained with gluons but difficult to explain in other ways.
