Northwestern University Department of Physics and Astronomy
We have very active research programs that span many areas of physics, from thermal effects in mesoscopic systems to the nature of the black hole at the center of the Milky Way. (Check individual faculty listings for more details.) In addition to recently renovated space in Dearborn Observatory and Northwestern's Technological Institute, our faculty use dozens of off-campus research facilities, from the CERN particle accelerator in Geneva, Switzerland, to the Hubble Space Telescope.
