The world around us is made of atoms. Each of these atoms contains a nucleus, which consists of different combinations of particles called protons and neutrons. These protons and neutrons themselves are very complex objects. They're made up of even smaller particles that are subject to all known forces of nature. Understanding how all of this works is the goal of nuclear physics research.Matthias Schindler: Then and Now / 2013 Early Career Award Winner
