Abstract
The NASA X-ray satellite NuSTAR - launched almost 5 years ago -
has provided a jump of almost 2 orders of magnitude in sensitivity in the
10-80 keV energy range thanks to its focusing hard X-ray telescopes. After a
brief presentation of the mission and of its main results, I will discuss
the progresses made possible by NuSTAR in our understanding of radio-quiet
AGN, and in particular of: the nature and physical properties of the X-ray
emitting regions, the location of the reflecting material, the properties of
disk winds and of the pc-scale "torus".
