Books- CRC handbook of chemistry and physics
- A concise guide to a broad range of physical science data. This is the most widely used single-volume reference source for chemistry and physics.
- Dictionary of physics
- Covers commonly encountered terms and concepts and includes feature articles on important topics, and chronologies of discoveries in physics.
- Encyclopedia of Applied Physics
- Thorough treatment of physics basics, methods, and applications. The encyclopedia comprehensively covers such specific topics as: optics, laser physics, solid state and semiconductor physics, atom and nuclear physics, and biophysics.
- International critical tables of numerical data, physics, chemistry, and technology
- Offers data on physical, thermodynamic, mechanical, and other key properties and is a major reference source for chemistry and related subjects.
- Smithsonian physical tables
- Comprising 901 tables concentrating on a broad scope of common physical and chemical data, the information provided is of general interest to scientists and engineers and of particular interest to those involved with physics in its larger sense.
Databases- ArXiv.org e-print archive
- Created by Paul Ginsparg and launched in 1991, arXiv.org (formerly xxx.lanl.gov) is a fully automated electronic archive and distribution server for research papers. Areas covered include physics and related disciplines, mathematics, nonlinear sciences, computational linguistics, and neuroscience.
- INSPEC
- Database providing access to bibliographic citations and abstracts of the scientific and technical literature in physics, electrical engineering, electronics, communications, control engineering, computers and computing and information technology. Material covered includes journal articles, conference proceedings, reports, dissertations, patents and books published around the world.
- SPIN (Searchable Physics Information Notices)
- Searchable database covering papers in the physical sciences from 1975 to the present. Produced by the American Institute of Physics.
EJournals- American journal of physics
- Annual review of biophysics and biomolecular structure
- Journal of biological physics
- Medical physics
- Physics in medicine and biology
