LibGuides: Physics & Astronomy: Databases

Databases Overview

The following science databases are available from the library website and can be accessed off campus with your Canvas/Portal login information. Follow the links below, or select “Library Databases” link from the library’s homepage.

Requesting Journal Articles
When there is no full-text available for an article in the database you are searching, request it from other libraries through Interlibrary Loan (ILL) form. It takes 2-3 days to receive it in your school email account.

Emergent Behavior in Quantum Matter -
"Reductionism is an effective tool in physics, but many real-world challenges resist this approach. Large scale behavior emerges in ways that are difficult to predict from the behavior of individual components. When the computational requirements are too massive or the theories that govern the component parts are inadequate, many complex systems have yielded to the physics of emergence, which seeks organizing principles at the system level. "
