Theoretical physics for and in space

Advances in fundamental physics, such as gravitation or quantum theory, can have important technological implications for ESA. Space is a very good environment to test new theories in physics. We perform theoretical research and monitor new developments mainly in the fields of gravitation, quantum physics and high-energy physics.

Welcome to the webpages related to ACT activities in the field of Fundamental Physics, where you will find information on past and ongoing projects.
