Nuclear physics is the field of physics that studies the building blocks and interactions of atomic nuclei. The most commonly known applications of nuclear physics are nuclear power and nuclear weapons, but the research has provided wider applications, including those in medicine (nuclear medicine, magnetic resonance imaging), materials engineering (ion implantation) and archaeology (radiocarbon dating).
It is a branch of the physics is concerned with the structure of atomic nuclei, and the understanding of potential ways in which to manipulate atomic nuclei. This branch of physics dates to the early 20th century, when scientists began to realize that the atom had a structure, and that understanding this structure could be important.
The most infamous application of nuclear physics was probably the development of the atom bomb in the 1940s, but nuclear physics has many more applications, including highly beneficial ones.
