    Discovering and Clarifying
    the Basic Laws that Form
    the Natural World

    Discovering and Clarifying the Basic Laws that Form the Natural World

    Physics is the study of discovering and systematizing the laws governing various phenomena that occur in the natural world. These phenomena range from elementary particles and atomic nuclei, to matter with diverse structures and properties seen in atoms, molecules, and solids, as well as large-scale phenomena in outer space. Most of these areas will be covered in the Graduate Major in Physics, where the fundamental principles of nature will be unraveled through vigorous experimentation and theoretical examination.

    Seminars by Prominent Researchers
    from Japan and Overseas

    Seminars by Prominent Researchers from Japan and Overseas

    To conduct research, in addition to deepening knowledge and understanding of one's own area of study, it is also important to have a broad view of various fields. In the Graduate Major in Physics, prominent researchers from Japan and overseas are frequently invited to hold Nanoscience and Quantum Physics seminars which introduce the latest achievements from various fields. Through participation in seminars, an understanding based on perspectives that are completely different from that of regular research is cultivated.
