OverviewThis monograph originated from various lectures held by the author. It offers a concise overview of modern nuclear research, starting with a discussion of nucleon--nucleon interactions followed by nuclear structure and electromagnetic interactions. The text continues with an exploration of nuclear matter at high densities. The last chapters are devoted to the nucleus as a tiny laboratory where fundamental physical processes are to be investigated. Finally, the cosmic connection between nuclear and astrophysics is established. This short overview gives perspectives for further research at facilities worldwide and can serve as a source for lecturers and graduate students alike.
