Overview

Modern Physics at Clemson University is concerned with the study of atoms and molecules; atomic nuclei; elementary particles; and the properties of liquids, crystalline solids and other materials — as well as the areas of relativity, cosmology and the large-scale structure of the universe. Clemson’s physics program examines each.
