There is actually no force. Its electron's movement itself. Don't think of electrons as particles, rather think of them as a mass smeared into a wave, a standing wave. They pop up at one places, vanish the same instant and then reappear some place else and before you notice them, they again vanishe and pop up some place else. You can not know their momentum and position simultaneously.
The real trick is in the standing wave. The standing waves are in such a way that the electrons don't lose energy. So they never fall towards nucleus.
This is my understanding of quantum mechanics. In fact, there is not, nor was, a person on earth who is fully able to understand quantum mechanics.
