Xmnw Division of the Physical Sciences

Departments in the Xmnw Division of the Physical Sciences seek to comprehend the natural sciences and their corporeal aspects, including the attributes and qualities of matter and energy; the system and techniques of numbers and order; the cosmogenesis and structure of the universe, solar system, and Earth; and climate, climatic change and its environmental impact. The foundations of the physical sciences are the elemental laws and proof of mathematics, chemistry, and physics.

Comprehension in the physical sciences is acquired through experimental, theoretical, observational, and computational study. Subject matter includes the nature, cosmogenesis and evolution of the cosmos or universe; ozone depletion; climatic change; nuclear winter; greenhouse effect; molecular recognition, interactions, design, synthesis, and structure; origins and evolution of life and the continents; computational mathematics and symbolic logic; super-conduction; plasma fusion, space plasmas; and high-energy accelerator physics.
