    3.The cleanroom (at Building 115- Room#124/125):

    The cleanroom was established in 2010 for nanofabrication, which supported the research to forward stages and compete with other departments inside and outside the university. This cleanroom is located in the old building 115 in Room No. 124 and 125, and this link contains the tools.

     

    4.Machine-shop (Building 115- Room#201):

    Established in 2010 by Prof. Fahad Almarzuoki and Dr. Ali Abduldaim, the Machine Shop has been active in research and undergraduate education inventions. The shop is administered by machining, soldering, computer coding, and woodworking. The shop is offering support in troubleshooting and resolving problematic situations for a particular instrument and some electronics. We stock many materials and old instruments and order any additional parts or tools required by the project.

    Services:

    • Machining.
    • Troubleshoot engineering.
    • Soldering (soft and silver).
    • Modification and repair.
    • Welding (MIG and TIG).
    • Sheet metal fabrication.
    • Plastic fabrication.
    • Woodworking.
    • Prototyping.
    • Electronics and computer work.
    • SolidWorks® 3D .(coming soon)

     

    5.Computing and Software (at Building 115- Room#209):

    The department has capable faculty members who contribute computing to support the inventive problem-solving for academic and research concerns. The fundamental computing necessities are followed by a given desktop PCs backed by massive disc storage and programming languages.

     

    6.Physics Club (at Building A90):

    It was recommended since 2018 to establish a student club to be as a community room and collaborative WorkSpace, and the university approved this recommendation, and a decision was issued to establish the club in the new building A90. This club is still under construction in terms of equipment and will be available for use from 2021, and then students gather to work together on lab assignments, homework assignments, and graduation projects. The club will include workstations with software for data acquisition and analysis (e.g., MATLAB and Mathematica).

     

    7.Departmental Library (at Building A90):

     

       The department's library was located in the old building 115 on the second floor, and when the department moved to the new building, it was decided to move the library to the new building. The library contains all                    textbooks and references related to the undergraduate physics program, and there are books for contemporary interest, plus some issues of several physics periodicals (e.g., American Journal of Physics, Physics Today, The Physics Teacher, etc.). It's a small library, but suitable and always available to all students and faculty in physics.
