Welcome to the Department of Physics at Colorado State University! Physics, the most fundamental of sciences, is the study of motion, matter and energy at scales ranging from the cosmological to subatomic. At CSU, you will receive a practical, hands-on, and individualized education at a leading research institution.

Department Highlights

Prof. Josh Berger Paper Accepted to PRL

The universe contains more matter than antimatter, but the mechanism for generating this difference is currently unconfirmed. Could dark matter be involved? Prof. Berger with his collaborator Gilly Elor explores how dark
