Nuclear Astrophysics

Nuclear Astrophysics is a field that combines studies of space and atomic particles. It focuses on how stars form and evolve, by exploring the nuclear reactions that fuel their energy. This field also evaluates the processes through which elements are created within stars. Insights from Nuclear Astrophysics help us understand how the components of our universe, from stars to galaxies, have developed and function today.
