Physics explores the fundamental principles governing motion, energy, and matter. Grounded in experimental evidence, it encompasses core theories like Newtonian mechanics, relativity, electromagnetism, thermodynamics, particle physics, and quantum theory. This field has driven innovations including electricity, radio technology, semiconductors, solar panels, medical imaging, atomic energy, microwave technology, underwater acoustics, and astronomical instruments. At Memorial University, researchers employ experiments, fieldwork, theoretical models, and computational methods to investigate diverse areas such as protein-membrane interactions, cosmic phenomena, optical technologies, ice formations, superconducting materials, and marine physics.
