The telescope known as XL-Calibur could be launched from Esrange Space Center in Sweden as early as Wednesday, May 29, according to principal investigator Henric Krawczynski of WashU, who is leading a team of collaborators from the United States, Japan and Sweden. 5.23.24 | Read the Story undergraduategraduateResearchPeopleNewsEventsCoursesResourcesPostdoctoral Opportunities About Our Department Be Part of the Physics Revolution Physics is at the forefront of many technological advancements and our department is leading the way in a diverse range of fields including astrophysics, biophysics, theoretical nuclear and particle physics, quantum information, materials, sensing, and extraterrestrial materials. The Department of Physics plays a leading role in the recently founded Center for Quantum Leaps - an Arts & Sciences initiative in collaboration with the School of Medicine and the School of Engineering with immense potential to revolutionize quantum computing and the development of new materials and medical treatments to solve major scientific and societal challenges. The Department of Physics is also affiliated with two other research centers. It plays a key role in the McDonnell Center for the Space Sciences, with leadership in studies of cosmic rays, high-energy astrophysics, cosmology, and astromaterials analysis, including the design of experiments to search for dark matter. The Institute of Materials Science & Engineering is a hub for Washington University materials research, focused on the development and application of new materials with desirable properties and microstructures. Additionally, our biophysicists are leading a transdisciplinary campus-wide initiative in Artificial Intelligence and Neuroscience focused on the convergence of machine learning, artificial intelligence, and brain sciences.   Our physics alumni are influential leaders in academia and industry, utilizing their expertise to advance innovation across various fields. The problem solving attitude and analytic skills you will develop pursuing a degree in physics are highly exportable and will make you versatile and adaptable for careers in physics and beyond. A physics education also serves as excellent preparation for several schools, including medical school. Physicists are highly interactive and versatile professionals who supply essential expertise in research and development efforts in both academia and industry.
