"We can help with virtually anything
larger than quarks and smaller than galaxies."

The School of Physics and Engineering Physics is the largest joint research and educational unit for physics in Sweden. This is largely due to the fact that most of the departments are shared by Chalmers and Göteborg University. All the basic traditional scientific areas are represented: astrophysics, particle physics, nuclear physics, atomic and molecular physics and condensed matter physics. The most extensive research is conducted in condensed matter physics and spans several areas with the emphasis on materials science and nanotechnology. Biological physics is a growing research area. In addition, there are activities in physical resource theory, radiation physics and nuclear physics. Research activities are thus very extensive and include both theoretical and experimental projects of both a basic and an applied nature. Scientists at Physics and Engineering physics coordinate and participate in many national and international research programs financed by, e.g., the Foundation for strategic research and the European Union. The high quality of our research has been confirmed in several evaluations.
