Physics – arguably the most mature of the natural sciences. Since the days of Galileo and Newton, it has lost nothing of its fascination. At the beginning of the 21st century, new perspectives open up, both within the traditional disciplinary boundaries and in areas where physics makes contact to other natural sciences, e.g. in chemical physics, biophysics, molecular electronics, and nanotechnology.
There is only one natural world, and to describe this complex world adequately, we need to draw on the concepts and results of all natural sciences. Because of its unique scope and depth, physics is already playing and will play a key role in the emerging universal science. Naturally, physics is an essential part of the teaching and research agenda at Jacobs University. In fact, Jacobs University is particularly well-suited for the kind of interdisciplinary work that is becoming increasingly important in modern day physics and beyond.
