    Physicists study the effects of radiation as it interacts with materials like tissues and metals to help advance energy solutions and medical technologies. They work to develop devices like photovoltaic cells that convert sunlight to electricity as alternatives to oil, and carbon dioxide lasers that can improve surgical tools. Physicists also research lasers that may one day initiate nuclear fusion for a clean, sustainable energy source through replicating the high temperatures of the sun.

    What Physicists Do?

    THE ERDC

    -Because the Philippines is highly dependent on oil. So they would like to find local energy sources that can substitute for oil.

    They operate the photovoltaic cells. These cells, when exposed to the sun, convert sunlight directly to electricity.

    Philippine Nuclear Research Institute

    Physicists along with a team of scientists, engineers, chemists and technologists study the effects of these radiations as they interact with tissues or other materials like metals.

    Physicists role in UP National Institute of Physics

    They work on gadgets that can help in the improvement of our machines used in operations. For example, the carbon dioxide laser.

    Carbon Dioxide Laser

    For physicists worldwide, laser research is a major interest. A laser beam with the right amount of energy may trigger nuclear fusion. And nuclear fusions occur at high temperatures. So fusion may as well provide the answer to our energy problem.
