Nuclear physics is the branch of physics that studies atomic nuclei and their constituents and interactions, focusing on understanding the fundamental forces and particles that govern nuclear reactions and stability. It has significant applications in energy production, medical imaging, and understanding the universe's elemental composition.

Nuclear Physics

High-energy physics, also known as particle physics, is the branch of physics that studies the fundamental constituents of matter and the forces governing their interactions. It explores the universe at the smallest scales, often using particle accelerators to probe beyond the reach of current technology and theory.
