concept drawing by NASA.]]Physics (from the Greek, φυσικός (physikos), "natural", and φύσις (physis), "nature") is the science of the natural world dealing with the fundamental constituents of the universe, the forces they exert on one another, and the results produced by these forces. Sometimes in modern physics a more sophisticated approach is taken that incorporates elements of the three areas listed above; it relates to the laws of symmetry and conservation, such as those pertaining to energy, momentum, charge, and parity. [HTTP ] Physicists study a wide range of physical phenomena spanning all length scales: from the subatomic particles from which all ordinary (i.e., baryonic) matter is made (particle physics) to the behavior of the material Universe as a whole (cosmology).
Physics discoveries find applications throughout the other natural sciences, since it studies the basic constituents of the natural world. Some of the phenomena studied in physics, such as the conservation of energy, are common to all material systems. These are often referred to as laws of physics. Physics is sometimes said to be the "fundamental science", because each of the other natural sciences (biology, chemistry, geology, etc.) deals with particular types of material systems that obey the laws of physics. For example, chemistry is the science of molecules and the chemicals that they form in the bulk. The properties of a chemical are determined by the properties of the underlying molecules, which can be described by areas of physics such as quantum mechanics (called in this case quantum chemistry), thermodynamics, and electromagnetism.
Physics is closely related to mathematics, which provides the logical framework where physical

ABINIT
 finds the total energy, charge density, and electronic structure of systems made of electrons and nuclei, using pseudopotentials and a plane-wave basis.


Atmosphere Model Code
 written in fortran 90.


Car-Parrinello Molecular Dynamics (CPMD)
 plane wave/pseudopotential implementation of density functional theory, particularly designed for ab-initio molecular dynamics. its first version was developed by jurg hutter at ibm zurich research laboratory starting from the original car-parrinello codes. free for non-profit organizations.


Code for Anisotropies in the Microwave Background (CAMB)
 fortran 90 code by antony lewis and antony challinor.


Community Climate System Model (CCSM)
 fortran 90 code for climate modelling.


Computational Physics
 codes in fortran and basic from book by steven koonin and dawn meredith.


CP2K: Atomistic Simulations
 fortran 95 modules to do atomistic and molecular simulations of solid state, liquid, molecular and biological systems. the methods included range from first principles ab initio density functional methods to parametrised, classical pair- and many-body potentials.


EMLIB
 electromagnetic software in fortran and c, and related information.


EXCITING FP-LAPW Code
 full-potential linearised augmented-planewave (fp-lapw) fortran 90 code. written mainly at karl-franzens-universität graz as a milestone of the exciting eu research and training network, the code is designed to be as developer friendly as possible so that new developments in the field of density functional theory (dft) can be added quickly and reliably. the code is freely available under the gnu general public license.


General Utility Lattice Program (GULP)
 performs a variety of types of simulation on 3d periodic solids, gas phase clusters and isolated defects in a bulk material. in particular gulp is designed to handle both molecular solids and ionic materials through the use of the shell model. one difference between gulp and other similar programs is that symmetry is used for solids to accelerate the calculations and to simplify the input. freely available to academics only.


GS2
 fortran 90 code to study low-frequency turbulence in magnetized plasma.


Horizon Technologies
 code for properties of fluids, materials, and superconductors.


Plane-Wave Self-Consistent Field (PWscf)
 programs for electronic structure calculations within density-functional theory and density-functional perturbation theory, using a plane-wave basis set and pseudopotentials. pwscf is released under the gnu general public license.


Weather Research and Forecasting Model
 fortran 95 code for real-time weather forecasts.
