	UCD - School of Physics
		As a core scientific discipline, physics is concerned with the fundamental laws that govern the behaviour of everything from the smallest elementary particle to the evolution of the Universe.
		The laws of Physics govern living as well as non-living organisms and this fact is reflected in the rapidly expanding field of Biophysics.
		Physics is a basic Science involving the mathematical description of nature; it also serves as a foundation in the study of other Sciences, as well as in Engineering, Architecture, Agriculture, Medicine, Nursing, Physiotherapy and Veterinary Medicine.

	Experimental Physics Research
		The experimental physics program at URI covers areas of cold neutron physics, acoustics and optical sensors, low temperature atomic clusters, structure of surfaces and interfaces, growth of epitaxial films, magnetic nanoparticles and surfaces, x-ray diffraction, neutron diffraction, and photoemission spectroscopy.
		We believe that a core component in the graduate education in experimental physics is to provide students with a supportive environment in which they, after initial training, are able to find their own initiatives in pursuit of research interests, and eventually become the primary experts in their respective fields.
		Many of the physics faculty are also members of the Sensors & Surface Technology Partnership, which is an interdisciplinary materials research consortium at the university, in partnership with departments of electrical engineering, chemical engineering, mechanical engineering, food science and nutrition, and chemistry, as well as with local and national industrial sponsors.

		This research is motivated by a wide variety of interests including the desire to understand fundamental features of nature, such as conceptual foundations of quantum mechanics at one extreme, and technology-oriented applications, such as biomedical imaging or optical communications, at the other.
		Experimental research activities include vibrational dynamics of biological macromolecules with applications to protein disassembly and fracture, photothermal chemistry and photochemistry of biological macromolecules with applications to molecular and cell biology, and the development of novel spectroscopic techniques using FEL light sources.

	Physics - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Physics is often said to be the "fundamental science", because each of the other sciences (biology, chemistry, geology, physiology, archaeology, anthropology, etc.) deals with particular types of material systems that obey the laws of physics.
		Electromagnetism, or electromagnetic theory, is the physics of the electromagnetic field: a field, encompassing all of space, which exerts a force on those particles that possess the property of electric charge, and is in turn affected by the presence and motion of such particles.
		Condensed matter physics, by most estimates the largest single field of physics, is concerned with how the properties of bulk matter, such as the ordinary solids and liquids we encounter in everyday life, arise from the properties and mutual interactions of the constituent atoms.

	Physics Goals
		Experimental and Analytical Skills: The laboratory should help the student develop a broad array of basic skills and tools of experimental physics and data analysis.
		Physics is a complex structure of concepts, hypotheses, theories, and observations that are interrelated in such a way that it is often difficult to separate inferences based on theory from direct observations based primarily on laboratory experiments.
		Students should understand that experimental evidence is the basis of our knowledge of the laws of physics and that physics is not merely a collection of equations and textbook problems.

	Experiment in Physics (Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy)
		He pointed out that even though an experimental apparatus is laden with, at the very least, the theory of the apparatus, observations remain robust despite changes in the theory of the apparatus or in the theory of the phenomenon.
		In particle physics, for example, there is the tradition of visual detectors, such as the cloud chamber or the bubble chamber, in contrast to the electronic tradition of Geiger and scintillation counters and spark chambers.
		In his view the material procedure (including the experimental apparatus itself along with setting it up, running it, and monitoring its operation), the theoretical model of that apparatus, and the theoretical model of the phenomena under investigation are all plastic resources that the investigator brings into relations of mutual support.
