kjarnfræði
Kjarnfræði is the scientific study of atomic nuclei. Central to the field is the understanding of the properties and behaviors of protons, neutrons, and other particles that comprise these nuclei. These particles interact with each other through forces and play a key role in determining the stability and reactivity of nuclei.
Kjarnfræði emerged in the early 20th century following the discovery of radioactive elements by Henri Becquerel
Key principles in kjarnfræði include the concept of nuclear decay, where unstable nuclei undergo radioactive transformations
Fundamental concepts in kjarnfræði also include the notions of isospin, spin, and parity. These properties are
