Nuclear physics is a specialized field of science that focuses on the study of atomic nuclei and their interactions. Courses in nuclear physics explore the fundamental principles of nuclear structure, radioactive decay, and the behavior of subatomic particles. Students gain a deep understanding of nuclear forces, fission, fusion, and the various nuclear reactions that form the basis for technologies used in medicine, energy production, and research. Nuclear physics courses are essential for those pursuing careers in fields like nuclear energy, medical imaging, and radiation therapy. Students learn how nuclear phenomena are harnessed in practical applications, such as nuclear reactors, particle accelerators, and diagnostic tools like PET scans and CT scanners. With the growing demand for clean energy solutions and advancements in medical treatments, nuclear physics is a crucial discipline in addressing global challenges. These courses prepare students to work with nuclear technologies safely, ensuring they understand both the potentials and risks associated with nuclear applications.
