• Physics is the study of matter and energy and how they interact. Physics helps students to understand how the world, and everything in it, really works. Physicists study all aspects of nature from the study of subatomic particles to the study of astronomical objects many times larger than the sun.
  • Students will discover the particles that make up the universe and the forces with which they interact.
  • Students will learn about black holes, atmospheric phenomena, new materials, quarks, and gluons. Students will investigate such phenomena as the big bang, quantum mechanical paradoxes, and superconductivities.
  • Students will experiment using telescopes, satellites, radar, tokamaks, synchrotron, and particle accelerators, and conduct space weather observations and atmospheric ozone monitoring.
