Nuclear Astrophysics

Nuclear astrophysics is the interdisciplinary research field dedicated to understanding the nuclear processes that occur in astrophysical environments, such as stars, supernovae, and the early universe. It investigates the nuclear reactions responsible for cosmic energy generation, nucleosynthesis (the creation of chemical elements), and the evolution of celestial objects and the cosmos itself, integrating principles from both nuclear physics and astronomy.
