Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Atomic nuclei are complex quantum systems consisting of two kinds of strongly interacting fermions. The goal of nuclear physics is to unravel their properties from their building blocks, protons and neutrons, and to determine the link between residual interaction between those to their underlying quark-gluon degrees of freedom of quantum chromodynamics (QCD). To this end, the knowledge of the structure of hadrons themselves, the nature of residual forces between nucleons, and the limits of nuclear stability are necessary. Nuclear physics searches the answers to these questions by probing the structure of complex nuclei, the limits of the existence of bound systems, studying mechanisms of nuclear reactions and properties of nuclear matter in extreme conditions. In recent decades, we have witnessed substantial progress worldwide, in both experimental techniques, with the major developments of accelerators and detectors, as well as in theoretical modeling of complex many-body systems and of nuclear forces, connected to significant progress in computing.
We invite academia to submit original and unpublished manuscripts to this Special Issue that develop research works related to these topics.
The goal of the Special Issue is to publish the most recent research results in experimental and theoretical nuclear physics. Topics suited for this Special Issue include but are not limited to:
- Nuclear forces and connections to QCD
- The limits of nuclear stability
- Structure of exotic nuclei, shell evolution
- Reaction mechanisms
- Theoretical models
- Applications

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Universe is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
