Materials Science
Materials Science in the Centre for Space Research focuses on applications in space, particularly Lower Earth Orbit (LEO). LEO is broadly considered the region (between 200 and 2000 km above the earth's surface). Today, observation satellites operating within LEO provide daily environmental monitoring, meteorological observations,…http://natural-sciences.nwu.ac.za/centre-space-research/galaxy-evolution
Galaxy Evolution
Research in galaxy evolution is crucial for understanding the fundamental processes that shape the vast and diverse cosmic tapestry. By studying how galaxies form and evolve over cosmic time, we gain insights into the underlying physical principles governing the Universe. This knowledge not only deepens our comprehension of our own Milky Way but…http://natural-sciences.nwu.ac.za/earth-system-sciences-soils-and-resources/research-team
