At the present time, the Physics Department of New York University’s College of Engineering at University Heights is conducting an active research program in various branches of physics. Under Professor Yardley Beers a program of microwave research is in progress, Professor Leon Fisher is investigating the fundamental properties and phenomena in electrical discharges in gases, Professors Fritz Reiche, Sidney Borowitz and George Hudson are conducting investigations in theoretical physics, Professor Yale K. Roots is working on a spectroscopic problem, and Professor Serge A. Korff is conducting a program in cosmic rays and counters. A brief description of most of these projects follows, largely in the words of the faculty member concerned.
