nuclear experiments

Nuclear experiments involve scientific investigations that study the properties and behaviors of atomic nuclei, the core of atoms. Scientists conduct these experiments to understand fundamental forces, reactions, and particles. Examples include nuclear fusion (where light nuclei combine) and fission (where heavy nuclei split), both of which release vast amounts of energy. These experiments can inform advancements in energy production, medicine, and materials science, while also raising safety concerns and ethical considerations due to the potential for nuclear weapons development. Overall, such experiments are crucial for deepening our knowledge of the universe and harnessing nuclear technology responsibly.
