Our Research Groups

Fysikum's research is carried out in both theoretical and experimental physics. We have seven departments and several projects. We often work in collaboration and also with other universities and research institutes.

Research Projects

Physics' size and breadth puts us in a strong position when it comes to physics research. Our ambition is to deliver research results in all, or at least most, areas of physics - and at the highest level.

Publications

Our researchers and students yearly produces a large amount of publications within the area of social work. Since 2007 these are registered in DiVA, the Digital Scientific Archive for easy access.

Emma shows the Fysikum premises for high school students in "Shadowing a Physicist"

Emma Jotun is studying astrophysics and is considering a master's degree in quantum matter. "Students in the third year of upper secondary school can follow a physics student at Stockholm University. A full day of physics studies - what an opportunity! The chance is available all the way up to the last day of applications," says Emma, who is a member of the board of Ung Vetenskapssport (Young Science Sport) and project manager in an organizing group.
