About

How does the universe work? The study of physics attempts to answer this question by examining the smallest subatomic particles, atoms, molecules, stars and galaxies. Using atomic-scale microscopes and high-energy particle accelerators and nuclear reactors, we can learn not only what holds the atomic nucleus together, but also how proteins function and why stars shine. Undergraduate physics training provides excellent preparation for a career or for graduate work in many fields ” from sciences such as oceanography and geology to law, medicine and even finance.
