Perimeter Institute is a leading centre for scientific research in theoretical physics. Located in Waterloo, Ontario, Canada, its mission is to advance our understanding of the universe at the most fundamental level, stimulating the breakthroughs that could transform our future. Perimeter also trains the next generation of physicists through innovative programs, and shares the excitement and wonder of science with students, teachers and the general public.Theoretical physics is perhaps the highest-impact, lowest-cost area of basic research. The field advances our fundamental understanding of the universe and seeds the technologies of tomorrow. Solar cells, computers, wireless technologies, and diagnostic imaging are all rooted in breakthroughs made by theoretical physicists. The reason is simple: technology relies on the laws of nature, so a better understanding of those laws allows us to create more powerful technologies.
