Nuclear physics is an exciting, broadly faceted field. It spans a
wide range of topics, reaching from nuclear structure physics to
high-energy physics, astrophysics and medical physics (heavy ion
tumor therapy). New developments are presented in this volume and
the status of research is reviewed. A major focus is put on nuclear
structure physics, dealing with superheavy elements and with
various forms of exotic nuclei: strange nuclei, very neutron rich
nuclei, nuclei of antimatter. Also quantum electrodynamics of
strong fields is addressed, which is linked to the occurrence of
giant nuclear systems in, e.g., U+U collisions. At high energies
nuclear physics joins with elementary particle physics. Various
chapters address the theory of elementary matter at high densities
and temperature, in particular the quark gluon plasma which is
predicted by quantum chromodynamics (QCD) to occur in high-energy
heavy ion collisions. In the field of nuclear astrophysics, the
properties of neutron stars and quark stars are discussed. A topic
which transcends nuclear physics is discussed in two chapters: The
proposed pseudo-complex extension of Einstein's General Relativity
leads to the prediction that there are no black holes and that big
bang cosmology has to be revised. Finally, the interdisciplinary
nature of this volume is further accentuated by chapters on protein
folding and on magnetoreception in birds and many other animals.
