清华大学物理楼（新建）

Did the walls of 清华大学物理楼（新建） witness history? They certainly did. They witnessed the rebirth of the Physics Department in 1982, after its closure in 1952. Imagine the excitement as the department, a cornerstone of Tsinghua University, rose again. This new building, 清华大学物理楼（新建）, symbolizes that resurgence. The original Physics Department, established in 1926, fostered brilliant minds. Think of physicists like C.N. Yang and T.D. Lee, future Nobel laureates, who walked these very grounds. During World War II, the university relocated, becoming part of National Southwest Associated University. Yet, the spirit of discovery persisted. Even in exile, groundbreaking research continued. The department’s legacy includes nine individuals recognized as “A-bomb,” “H-bomb,” and “Satellite” heroes. These heroes, including Gan-chang Wang and San-qiang Qian, began their journeys at Tsinghua’s Physics Department. Today, 清华大学物理楼（新建） stands as a testament to this incredible past. It’s a hub of cutting-edge research, with a faculty of 45 full professors and 42 associate professors. They represent a diverse range of physics disciplines, from condensed matter physics to astrophysics. The department thrives with support from national and international grants, contributing hundreds of research papers annually. The legacy of excellence continues, shaping the future of physics within these walls. As you stand before 清华大学物理楼（新建）, remember the giants who walked here before. Their contributions resonate, inspiring new generations of physicists to push the boundaries of knowledge.
