Nuclear Science is the study of the Components, Structure and Behavior of the Nucleus of an Atom. It is specially concerned with the nature of matter and with nuclear energy. 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, The contribution of Nuclear Science to Energy Sector, Medical Sciences, Biology, and Radiobiology and too many other fields is now well recognized. |
