About us

Physicists uncover the laws of nature and use them to shed light on the world around us and to tackle some of our biggest challenges.

The Institute of Physics (IOP) is where physicists come together to share their knowledge, to solve problems, to drive themselves and their subject forward, and to celebrate and share their successes.
