condensed matter physics
Condensed matter physics is the branch of physics that primarily focuses on understanding and studying the physical properties and behavior of materials in their solid or condensed form, such as solids, liquids, and glasses. It explores various phenomena, including the movement of atoms and electrons, magnetism, superconductivity, and phase transitions, which ultimately help advance our knowledge of the complex world of matter.
