Facilities
In our labs, you'll use modern equipment and instrumentation on your own, and you'll work in our 16-station computer lab dedicated to Physics and Chemistry, including research quality software for solving equations. We'll even give you a key so you can use it whenever you want.
R.E. Peithman Physical Electronics Laboratory
The Physical Electronics Lab.
The Gravity Research Laboratory
After over 300 years of experimentation, the true nature and implications of gravity are not fully understood. Here at HSU, we are creating a laboratory to investigate the subtle properties of this familiar force of nature.
Primary Research Areas
- Short-range tests of Newton's 1/r² law and the Weak Equivalence Principle
- Searches for new fundamental forces
- Investigation of the mechanism behind Dark Energy
Fickle Hill Observatory
Want to peer into deep space? You'll have full access to our very own observatory, complete with a new 16-inch telescope and a 12-inch telescope—both GPS-located and computer-controlled—as well as several smaller telescopes.
