It is concerned with the forces at work within the universe and investigates the fundamental laws of nature.
Physicists study both the largest and the smallest structures by elementary particle physicist.
In every specialty of physics, there are theoretical, computational and experimental physicists working to try to understand nature. There are many specialties such as acoustics, atomic and molecular physics, plasma physics, solid state physics and biophysics. The largest subspecialty is solid state physics which has produced the world of electronics. Physics majors at the University of Scranton follow a well-rounded curriculum. Courses are drawn from such areas as atomic and laser physics, electromagnetic theory, mechanics, optics, acoustics and statistical physics.
