Q: What is Femtography?

A: Take a meter, and then cut it into quadrillion pieces. That is the length of one femtometer. Think how small it is. The charge radius of a proton is approximately 0.85 femtometers and the radius of a gold nucleus is about 8.45 femtometers. What we call femtography, is to study, to image and to visualize proton and the sub-particles inside the atomic nucleus.

Q: What is the CNF?

A: CNF is the initiative for the Center for Nuclear Femtography. It will become the center that can facilitate the application of modern developments in data science to the problem of imaging and visualizing the femtometer scale structure of proton, neutron, and atomic nucleus.

Q: Why?

A: Because imaging proton, the subatomic particle, can help us better understand the fundamental matter of everything. This would allow scientists to get a better understanding of how our world works and is structured.
