Yet we don’t know on the fundamental level why atomic nuclei are not collapsing. This question relates to the dynamics of the nuclear core which can be probed only in high energy experiments which only recently became available. The talk will present the ongoing exploration of the nuclear core, recent successes and open questions, as well as its relation to our understanding the dynamic of the superdense nuclear matter that may exist at the cores of neutron stars.
