Condensed matter physics<\/b><\/span> is the field of physics that deals with the macroscopic and microscopic physical properties of matter. It comprises the study of phenomena arising from the interactions of many particles, which give rise to the well-known solid<\/span><\/strong>, liquid<\/span><\/strong> and gas<\/span><\/strong> phases of matter, but also to plasmas<\/span><\/strong>, superconductors<\/span><\/strong>, Bose-Einstein condensates<\/strong><\/span>, and non-trivial-topology<\/span> phases<\/span><\/strong>, among others. <\/p>\n

 Condensed Matter Physics is one of the broadest and most prolific subfields of Physics, since it brings together a wide range of systems and problems. However, all materials are ultimatedly made up of the<\/span> same fundamental building blocks,<\/strong> so it is not the diversity in the basic constituents what leads to the most exotic and misterious phases of matter, but their aggregate behaviour and organization<\/strong><\/span>.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

But how do complex phenomena emerge<\/strong><\/span> from these simple ingredients? Indeed, Condensed Matter Physics is all about understanding how the microscopic structure of a material connects with its macroscopic properties. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
