List of phases of matter
This is a list of the
different phases of matter
including the more exotic
ones. Generally phases of
matter are distinguished by
the pressure and
temperature, transforming

Subatomic particle
A subatomic particle is a
particle smaller than an
atom: it may be elementary
or composite. Particle
physics and nuclear physics
concern themselves with the
study of these particles,
their interactions, and
... > full story
Mechanics
Mechanics can be seen as the
prime, and even as the
original, discipline of
physics. It is a huge body
of knowledge about the
natural world. It also
constitutes a central part
of technology. ... > full story
Particle physics
Particle physics is a branch
of physics that studies the
elementary constituents of
matter and radiation, and
the interactions between
them. It is also called
"high energy physics",
because many elementary

Spin (physics)
In physics, spin refers to the angular momentum intrinsic to a body, as opposed to orbital angular momentum, which is generated by the motion of its center of mass about an external ... > more -
Quantum number
A quantum number describes the energies of electrons in atoms. Each quantum number specifies the value of a conserved quantity in the dynamics of the quantum system. Since any quantum system can have ... > more -
Electromagnetism
Electromagnetism is the physics of the electromagnetic field: a field, encompassing all of space, which exerts a force on those particles that possess the property of electric charge, and is in turn ... > more -
Wave-particle duality
In physics and chemistry, wave-particle duality holds that light and matter exhibit properties of both waves and of particles. A central concept of quantum mechanics, duality addresses the inadequacy ... > more -
Bose-Einstein condensate
A Bose–Einstein condensate is a phase of matter formed by bosons cooled to temperatures very near to absolute zero (0 kelvin or -273.15 degrees Celsius). Under such supercooled conditions, a ... > more
