Welcome to the Nucleus, a website designed for physics and astronomy undergrads. There are all sorts of resources for research and learning, plus cool links and discussion forums for talking with fellow students.

The Nucleus is also home to The Lounge, a website focused on student discussions, with fun contests and polls for you to participate in!

Our Physics Poetry contest has now ended. View the winning entries! This month we are running two contests! First, give us your Best Physics Joke. For our second contest, we want to hear your Best Advice for a Student's First REU. Good Luck!

Current discussions going on in The Lounge!
