Nuclear Science

Atoms and Nuclei

Inside every atom is a tiny dense nucleus made of protons and neutrons. Nuclear science studies what happens there.

Types of Radiation

Discover Types of Radiation as a core part of Nuclear Science. This lesson explains what it means, walks through a real example, introduces key terms, and includes three hands-on activities to help you understand and apply the idea.

Radioactivity

Some atomic nuclei are unstable and decay over time, releasing radiation. Understanding it helps us use it safely.
