Physics is changing your life.Nadlinger-Single-Atom-in-Ion-Trap_uncropped_0.jpg

At the Department of Physics, our research spans everything from the tiniest particles to the entire cosmos, but we don’t just leave the ideas scrawled on blackboards, hidden on hard drives or tucked into unfathomable scientific papers. We take our research and make it work for you.
