Department of Physics, Payyanur College is a recognized research center of Kannur University since 2009. The Department has a well established state of the art radiation research lab and chemical processing lab for various syntheses. Among the faculties, 4 are having research guide-ship and actively involved in research activities of their own chosen field. The centre is kind enough to support guide-ship for faculties from other colleges. The centre has already produced 10 Ph Ds and 5 Ph D scholars are currently associated with the centre. Many publications have already come out from the lab in the areas of radiation physics, nuclear physics and nano technology. Many UG and PG students have completed their project work in the research labs of the Department, as part of partial fulfillment of the requirement for the award of UG/PG Degree. The centre has sufficient space, furniture and manpower to upgrade as a nodal centre for the radiation monitoring and the process in on.
