Physics at ISTA comprises theoretical and experimental approaches as well as astrophysics/astronomy.

On the theory side, research areas include atomic, molecular, and optical physics (Lemeshko), theoretical condensed matter physics and quantum dynamics (Serbyn), mathematical physics (Erdös, Seiringer), biophysics (Tkacik), physical principles in biological systems (Hannezo, Saric), soft matter theory and materials design (Goodrich), as well as computational materials science (Cheng).

Experimental research is carried out in the areas of fluid dynamics/turbulence (Hof), geophysical fluid dynamics (Muller), soft and complex materials (Waitukaitis, Palacci), quantum thermodynamics (Modic), nanoelectronics (Katsaros), quantum integrated devices (Fink), quantum sensing with atoms and light (Hosten), condensed matter and ultrafast optics (Alpichshev), nanoscale photonics for biology (Danzl), and NMR spectroscopy and biophysics (Schanda).

The astrophysics groups aim at understanding the evolution of stars and to understand astrophysical processes by using various modelling techniques (Bugnet, Caiazzo, Götberg ,Matthee).

Experimental research in the realm of physical chemistry encompasses functional nanomaterials (Ibáñez), materials electrochemistry (Freunberger).
