Overview

Physics is a branch of science which studies matter, energy, and their interactions. However, it's more than just a branch of science but is foundational to all other sciences. Light, heat, sound, gravity, motion, electricity and magnets, are all the classic topics of study for a physicist.

At least seven Nobel Prizes in physics have been fundamental to the invention of the mobile phone, including for semiconductors and transistors, light emitting diodes (LEDs) for screen - and new physics discoveries are happening everyday!
