Physics research is carried out from a half mile underground to the edge of space, over a range of energies, from 10-7 to 1020 electronvolts, and over a range of length scales from the subatomic to the intergalactic. There are collaborations involving materials scientists, chemical engineers, electrical engineers and of course, physicists from around the globe. Major research areas include particle theory and experiment, condensed matter theory and experiment, nuclear theory, space physics, observational and theoretical astrophysics, and biological physics. The latter is a new and growing research activity.
