Home›Physics›Nuclear Physics›All Nuclear PhysicsBrowse ByAll Nuclear PhysicsThis group collects the Physics subcategory's members whose defining work concerns the atomic nucleus itself: nuclear structure, radioactivity, nuclear fission and fusion, and the reactors, accelerators and weapons programs built to study or apply them. It sits apart from this subcategory's Particle And High-Energy Physics group, whose members study particles smaller than the nucleus and the fundamental forces between them, even though the two fields share instruments, laboratories and often the same physicists earlier in a career that later moved toward one field or the other.FactsAll Nuclear PhysicsSourcesComments (0)Reader Challenges (0)FactsComparisonField EstablishedWell-attested1896 1All Nuclear PhysicsFilter Results30 entriesDisciplineAllAtomic Physics (2)Chemistry (2)Mathematics (1)Nuclear Physics (8)Particle Physics (4)Physics (28)Solid-State Physics (1)Field (legacy)AllNuclear physics (2)Physics (7)Physics and chemistry, radioactivity (1)Theoretical Physics (3)EraAll1852 (1)1859 (1)1867 (1)1871 (1)1878 (1)1885 (1)1895 (1)1897 (2)1902 (1)1903 (1)1904 (4)1906 (2)1907 (1)1908 (2)1909 (1)1915 (1)1917 (1)1922 (1)1923 (2)1926 (1)1938 (1)1953 (1)InstitutionAllAmerican Association for the Advancement of Science (1)American Physical Society (7)Cavendish Laboratory (2)Columbia University (2)Curie Institute (1)Ecole Polytechnique (1)Institute for Advanced Study (3)Jadavpur University (1)Lebedev Physical Institute (2)Max Planck Society (1)Moscow State University (1)National Academy of Sciences (4)Royal Society (2)Russian Academy of Sciences (1)University of Cambridge (1)University of Manchester (1)In GroupAllNuclear Physics (30)NationalityAllAustria (2)Austria-Hungary (1)Denmark (2)France (3)German Empire (1)Germany (1)Hungary (1)India (3)New Zealand (1)Russia (1)Russian Empire (4)Soviet Union (5)Sweden (1)Ukraine (1)United Kingdom (4)United States (10)Show ResultsBrowseCompareSelect all 30Aage BohrPhysicsAbram AlikhanovPhysicsBen MottelsonPhysicsDebendra Mohan BosePhysicsEdward TellerPhysicsErnest RutherfordPhysicsEugene WignerPhysicsFreeman DysonPhysicsHans BethePhysicsHenri BecquerelPhysicsHomi J.
