The mission of the Office of Nuclear Physics is to discover, explore, and understand all forms of nuclear matter, aiming to explain how quarks and gluons combine to form protons, neutrons, and nuclei. This includes investigating the properties of nuclear matter under extreme conditions, like those in neutron stars or the early universe.Unknown (August 12, 2024).
