I assume that you mean "What will you find in a nucleus?"... however, I'm not sure if you mean the nucleus of a cell or of an atom, so I'll answer both.

The nucleus of a cell, if I remember correctly, is sort of like a miniature brain. It holds the chromosomes (the DNA) that tell the cell what functions to perform.

The nucleus of an atom, on the other hand, contains sub-atomic particles - protons and neutrons. Protons have a positive charge and neutrons have a neutral charge. Electrons, which orbit the atom, have a negative charge. And I will stop here before I rant about quantum physics.

Assuming the nucleus of an atom - you would protons and neutrons.

There are further sub-atomic particles which make up the protons and neutrons.

Quarks as well as protons and neutrons

(protons and neutrons are made up of quarks, which are among the smallest particles found by physicists yet)
