About Nuclear Physics
Nuclear physics is "the study of the structure, properties, and interactions of the atomic nuclei." Nuclear physicists investigate nuclear matter on all scales, from sub-atomic particles to supernovas. Research areas include the structure of the nucleus at different temperatures and pressures, the origin of elements, and the structure and evolution of stars.
