Advanced Physics Laboratory

Catalog description

The course will provide students tools to measure and analyze physical processes, such as crystallization, nucleation and diffusion, which are affected by biomolecules. Students will use fluorescence microscopy, differential scanning calorimetry, temperature-controlled stages and a combination of these techniques to measure and study the thermodynamics of crystallization and nucleation of water and other materials. Previously offered as PHYS 1810. Prerequisite(s): PHYS 1052 ; and MATH 1510 may be taken as a prerequisite or corequisite.
