Overview

The Physics programme from Institut Polytechnique de Paris

Given its scope and the importance of technological developments it triggers, physics plays a central role among all scientific fields. It is therefore at the very heart of our knowledge society, from its fundamental theories to industrial applications.

Key facts:

Devoted to fundamental questions on the origin of matter, from elementary particles to the edge of the observable universe, theoretical and experimental physics of the two infinities is in strong interplay with plasma and laser physics, which allows in turn to explore the properties of matter in the most extreme conditions.

Light and matter are also at the core of material sciences, nanosciences and nanotechnologies, which lead to the most important progresses in various field as electronics and communications, aerospace, energy and applications to biology and medicine.
