A finite nucleus is a unique mesoscopic system composed of strongly interacting neutrons and protons. Investigation of its structure at varying angular momentum, isospin and temperature provides new insight about the dynamics involved in the variety of emergent phenomena in this many-body system. With the advent of new accelerator facilities in India and worldwide, it is now possible to explore nuclear properties at limits of binding. This has thrown open a wide forum of novel nuclear physics problems in different length scales. Nuclear physics research is focused on exploring the science of atomic nuclei, its relevance in understanding processes like supernova and addressing open questions about fundamental symmetries of nature.
