Directory of Physicists Resources

Home > Kids and Teens > School Time > Science > Physics > Physicists

This category is dedicated to those men and women who made decisive contributions to the advance of physics during the time they lived in. They were specialists who studied a wide range of physical phenomena spanning all length scales: from the sub-atomic particles, from which all ordinary matter is made (particle physics) to the behavior of the material Universe as a whole (cosmology).
