Why Study Physics?

Recognized as one of the top 25 physics programs by "U.S. News & World Report," Stony Brook is an excellent place to learn about the physical composition of the world and universe. Our faculty conduct world class experimental and theoretical research and you will have the opportunity to work closely with them on research projects outside of the classroom. The research ranges from the smallest to the largest scales and covers areas like the standard model and beyond, the quark gluon-plasma, atomic and molecular structures, quantum information and materials, to supernovae, galaxy formation and cosmology. Much of our research is conducted in close collaboration with scientists at nearby Brookhaven National Laboratory, one of the premier U.S. research laboratories.
