Nuclear physics, despite its remarkable achievements and recent advancements, is sometimes mistakenly perceived as a field of the past. In truth, it stands at the fore-front of scientific exploration, invigorated by cutting-edge developments in few- and many-body methodologies, field-theoretical frameworks, and state-of-the-art experimental techniques.More info

Planar fermions underpin much interesting physics in layered systems and are extensively studied in condensed matter physics; for instance, electronic properties of graphene have long been understood in terms of relativistic fermions centred on Dirac points in momentum space, but the influence of interactions between charge-carrying degrees of freedom is less well-understood and remains an active field of study.More info
