Nuclear physics is the field of physics that studies atomic nuclei and how their constituents interact. The study includes other forms of nuclear matter as well, see this document. Nuclear physics is different from atomic physics, which studies the atom as a whole, including its electrons.
Nuclear physics has applications in many fields, such as nuclear power, nuclear weapons, nuclear medicine and magnetic resonance imaging, industrial and agricultural isotopes, ion implantation in materials engineering, and radiocarbon dating in geology and archaeology. Such applications fall in the field of nuclear engineering. Read more.
