Abstract
The idea that clusters of nucleons might exist in the nucleus has a long history and dates back to the earliest days of nuclear physics. Recently there have been significant advances in our theoretical treatment of clustering and in the experimental methods available to identify cluster structure in nuclei. These developments are reviewed with particular reference to the 24Mg nucleus where a rich variety of cluster configurations is observed.
