Nuclear Physics
The field of nuclear physics examines properties of atomic nuclei and how they interact. Use Wolfram|Alpha to calculate the many aspects of nuclear physics from nuclear energy and reactions to properties of atomic radiation and decay. Compute the effects of the detonation of an atomic bomb, determine the shielding effects of different materials and examine properties of isotopes.
Compute the stopping power of different materials, transmittance and properties of radiation absorption.
