Italian nuclear physics

Italian nuclear physics involves studying the fundamental particles and forces that make up atomic nuclei. Italian scientists have contributed to understanding nuclear reactions, particle behavior, and nuclear energy, often through major research facilities like INFN labs and collaborations with international projects. Their work explores how nuclei interact, how elements are formed in stars, and develops technologies for medical imaging and energy. It combines theoretical models with experimental research, advancing knowledge of matter at its most basic level, and applying this understanding to practical and innovative solutions across science and industry.
