Physics
Overview
Physicists investigate the fundamental nature of the universe. They observe and analyze various forms of energy and the structure of matter. Their studies have continued to broaden our understanding of the physical world and have enabled us to make increasing use of natural resources. Physicists contribute to scientific progress in diverse areas such as nuclear energy, electronics, communications and aerospace. Physicists work at colleges and universities, federally-funded national laboratories, and private industries.
