Physics research is extensively developed on the campus, through eleven laboratories within its research center and partnerships with numerous institutes, particularly on the Saclay plateau.

The physics activities of the School’s research center are organized around three thematic areas:

• Structures and Fundamental Laws
• Optics, Lasers, and Plasmas
• Condensed Matter, Nanosciences, and Materials
