Nuclear Science continues in the tradition of the highly popular Contemporary Physics Education Project (CPEP) series. -- Explores the structure, properties and interactions of atomic nuclei; describes basic nuclear processes and the modern picture of the nucleus, then applies them to the formation of the Universe. -- Illustrates the known isotopes with a chart of the nuclides in graphic form, traces radioactive decay from alpha to gamma and shows how new elements are found. Many of the applications of nuclear science are described. -- Also available in poster and notebook size. -- The Teacher’s Guide (approximately 120 pages) provides additional useful information and includes a chart transparency. |
