Today\u2019s research in nuclear physics is enabling a range of new technologies in materials science chemistry, medicine, and biology. The application of nuclear physics lies largely in the field of power generation using nuclear energy. Once the force holding the nucleus was understood, we started splitting and fusing neutrons. The process of splitting the nucleus to generate energy is known as\u00a0Nuclear Fission\u00a0and the process of fusing two neutrons to generate energy is known as\u00a0Nuclear Fusion.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Nuclear physics is a scientific discipline that studies the structure of nuclei, their formation and stability.
