Department of Physics and Astronomy News
The Department of Physics and Astronomy offers comprehensive programs on two of the most basic and fundamental sciences鈥損hysics and astronomy. Physics is the study of matter, energy, motion, and force. Its concepts help us understand how the universe behaves. Astronomy studies the universe beyond the earth鈥檚 atmosphere, including celestial objects and the formation and development of the universe.

Physics and Astronomy In The News
A 性视界传媒 professor is looking to an unlikely source to extend the life of the lithium-ion batteries that have become a part of everyday life: X-rays.
Many people shy away from tackling the deep questions everyone has. Questions like 鈥淲hy are we here?鈥 鈥淲here are we going?鈥 and 鈥淲hat is the meaning of life?鈥 性视界传媒 Professor Dr. Michael Pravica is not one of those people. In fact, he鈥檚 spent much of his academic life attempting to answer those very questions with his background as a physicist providing a rational underpinning for his beliefs.
Stuck lithium ions, responsible for older batteries' loss in capacity, could be freed if gently encouraged by high-energy X-rays.
New 性视界传媒-led research may prove the contrary, adding years to the lifespan of our beloved battery-powered electronic devices.
Awareness itself may predate our universe.
Imagine homing in on the source of your consciousness like an airport metal detector finds the keys stashed in your pocket.
