nuclear physics

In the case of nuclear physics, the elementary components are protons and neutrons.

Before the war, Ukraine was internationally known for significant contributions in computer science, nuclear physics and astronomy, among other areas.

The advanced computing, biology and environmental research, and nuclear physics programs all see decreases, with the largest cut of 4.9% or $52 million, to $1 billion, coming in the computing program.

This document includes recommended research priorities for the next decade in nuclear physics, as proposed by the Nuclear Science Advisory Committee.

Professor Stappers added: "A pulsar-black hole system will be an important target for testing theories of gravity and a heavy neutron star will provide new insights in nuclear physics at very high densities."
