Nuclear physics is the study of the protons and neutrons at the centre of an atom and the interactions that hold them together in a space just a few femtometres (10-15 metres) across. Example nuclear reactions include radioactive decay, fission, the break-up of a nucleus, and fusion, the merging of nuclei.
Most may not realize that discoveries in nuclear physics are the basis of life-saving technologies such as radiotherapy, cancer research, medical imaging, and smoke detectors. Nuclear technologies keep us safe by their use in export-control tracking of radioactive and dangerous materials across our borders.
Nuclear physics is the study of the structure of nuclei—their formation, stability, and decay. It aims to understand the fundamental nuclear forces in nature, their symmetries, and the resulting complex interactions between protons and neutrons in nuclei and among quarks inside hadrons, including the proton.
Nuclear physics is an important pursuit because the study of the nucleus of the atom is at the heart of our ability to understand the universe. It provides answers and expands our knowledge of both the infinitely small and the extremely large.
