Physicists Paint First Complete Picture of Expanding Universe
Physics & Astronomy Department
With a Physics & Astronomy Degree...
-
Build The ModelBe part of a team that proposes a new theoretical model for calculating pairing properties of atomic nuclei including those found in extreme astrophysical environments.
-
Discover Something NewWhat happens when a proton hits a nucleus? Make new calculations that add to the understanding how nucleons and nuclei interact.
-
Earn RecognitionStudents win national and international awards for their posters and presentations around the world.
-
Reach for the StarsLearning to use a 1.3 meter diameter telescope, observing stars throughout the night, and designing a research activity are just a few of the experiences students have at OHIO.
Physics & Astronomy
Students explore yesterday, today and tomorrow in search of a deeper understanding of the natural world—from the mysteries of dark matter to the smallest machines possible, from the complexity of life to nature's strongest forces.
The Cosmos
From the mysteries of dark matter to the secrets hidden in our own solar system, astrophysics probes the galaxy of unanswered questions.
Nanoscience
At the size scale of an atom, researchers manipulate nano-particles to explore the world of quantum mechanics and to build the smallest machines possible.
Probing Life
Biophysicists study the complexity of life by using the laws of physics and the power of math to analyze patterns in living things, from epilepsy to signal processing.
Nuclei and Particles
The nuclear force is the strongest found in nature. From questions of how protons and neutrons are bound in nuclei (or neutron stars) to the interactions of quarks and gluons, this is strong stuff.
