Physics is the fundamental science which seeks to understand the basic laws governing the structure of matter, the nature of energy, radiation, and the interaction between these quantities. Its span of interest ranges from the nature of the short-range forces which operate inside the atomic nucleus, to the origin and structure of the Universe. Physics underpins many areas of science and technology, including nanotechnology, micro-electronics, imaging, communications, renewable energy, environmental monitoring. It provides the foundation for many new technologies across the sciences, engineering, and medicine. |
