Atomic, Molecular, & Optical Physics [AMO]

Atomic, Molecular, & Optical Physics [AMO]

in Physics

The study of matter-matter and light-matter interactions at the scale of one or a few atoms, and at the energy scales of about several electron volts. In Atomic Physics - The study of the structure, energy state, and the interaction of an atom with other particles and with electric and magnetic fields. In Molecular Physics - The study of the physical properties of molecules. In Optical Physics - The study of the generation, properties, and the interaction of electromagnetic radiation with matter.

Physics - Data Collection

As a Physicist, please Login and provide research data on any of the following topics.

1. Government Agencies.

In preparing each faculty of knowledge to function constitutionally as an Arm of Government, we first need to specify or outline their boundaries. Please list as many offices, agencies, ministries, institutions, or parastatals presently in your region that you think fall under the authority, leadership, jurisdiction, legislation, or administration of the faculty of Physics.

 

2. Licensing Rights.

The creation or invention of new products and services are the efforts of multiple faculties working collaboratively. However, in our new economic system design, conflicts arise as to which faculties should possess the rights of ownership to certain creations. For example. Should CELLPHONES fall under the licensing rights of Physics or Electrical Engineering? Should PLASTICS fall under the licensing rights of Chemistry or Materials Science? Should PHARMACEUTICALS fall under the licensing rights of Biology or Health Science? Please list as many services, gadgets, products, creations, or inventions that physicists provide or offer presently in your region that you believe fall under the licensing rights of the faculty of Physics.

 

3. The Future.

Assuming that the faculty of Physics has just been granted ample funding and unhindered federal powers, please suggest a new idea, course of action, strategy, dream, innovation, or next-generation agency that physicists could implement, establish, or research and develop towards achieving a utopia in your region.
