Facilities
In our labs, you'll use modern equipment and instrumentation on your own, and you'll work in our dedicated 16-station computer lab that includes research-quality software for advanced mathematical analyses and hardware/software integration.
Fickle Hill Observatory
Want to peer into deep space? You'll have full access to our very own observatory, complete with a new 16-inch telescope and a 12-inch telescope—both GPS-located and computer-controlled—as well as several smaller telescopes.

The Gravity Research Laboratory

After over 300 years of experimentation, the true nature and implications of gravity are not fully understood. Here at Humboldt, we created a laboratory to investigate the subtle properties of this familiar force of nature.
Primary Research Areas
- Short-range tests of Newton's 1/r² law and the Weak Equivalence Principle
- Searches for new fundamental forces
- Investigation of the mechanism behind Dark Energy
