The Physics I and Physics II courses are given by the İstanbul Kültür University Department of Physics teaching staff to the İKÜ Faculty of Engineering, Department of Mathematics-Computer and Department of Molecular Biology and Genetics in English and Turkish. In addition, non-Elective Area courses (SAD) are offered in both English and Turkish.
Scientific studies are carried out in areas such as astrophysics, chaos and dynamic systems, molecular physics and molecular spectroscopy and x-ray fluorescence spectroscopy in the İstanbul Kültür University Department of Physics.
Physics is a basic science that researches the laws governing the formation and functioning of the universe in our journey from micro-cosmos to macro-cosmos.
In our daily life, as well as the most basic problems such as mechanical, dynamic and electrical problems, we witness advanced science as in the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN laboratories where high energy particle physics experiments are performed.
Many examples can be given to describe the indispensable place of physics in our daily lives and the momentum that leads the future:
- To develop the space industry which is used in satellite communication and observation technology for civil and military purposes without classical mechanics, electromagnetism, astrophysics, materials science and condensed matter physics,
- To produce liquid-crystal displays (LCD) used in television and smartphone screens without condensed matter physics, optics and materials science,
- To use solar energy and design medical imaging devices used in the diagnosis and treatment of various diseases without atomic and molecular physics and semiconductor physics,
- To produce fiber optic cables used in communication, medicine and detector technology without the knowledge of optics, optoelectronics, lasers and photonics,
- To understand DNA and use it in cancer treatment without X-ray diffraction and nuclear physics.
Without physics, it is impossible to understand the world in which we live and its secrets. Physics is a branch of science that is applied in all fields of engineering, medicine, pharmacy, molecular biology, genetics, as well as social fields such as archeology, art history and economics. In addition, physics is leading the way in areas such as nanotechnology, superconductivity, photonics, mechatronics, biotechnology and space sciences that will create new engineering areas in the near future.
Physics will continue to play an important role in the development of science, technology and other natural sciences with its interdisciplinary structure.
