PHYSICSexplores
and recognizes the basic principles of matter, energy,
and the interaction between them.Many apply this knowledge to the development of
advanced material, electronic and optical devices, and
medical equipment.Physicists'
experimentations use a variety of equipment including
lasers, cyclotrons, telescopes, and mass spectrometers.Physics research concentrates on discovering
laws, describing forces of nature, and applying physical
laws and theories to problems, which leads to the development
of new ideas, products and processes.
