The concepts and methods of physics are fundamental throughout the sciences, and have produced profound scientific, philosophical, and technological developments. Our departments are built on close work between students and faculty on cutting-edge research, with nearly all physics, astronomy and astrophysics majors participating.
The physics major joined the Imperial College London’s experimental solid state physics lab this summer, working to advance solar-cell efficiency.
