Condensed matter physics deals with the macroscopic and microscopic physical properties of matter.
The most familiar examples of condensed phases are solids and liquids, which arise from the bonding and electromagnetic force between atoms.
A nanostructure is an object of intermediate size between molecular and microscopic structures. Nanotextured surfaces have one dimension on the nanoscale, nanotubes have two dimensions on the nanoscale and spherical nanoparticles have three dimensions on the nanoscale.
This category is for organizations that do not themselves conduct scientific research but aim to spread information about such research. They organize meetings, publish journals and provide research grants for scientists in the field.

A semiconductor is a material that has a resistivity value between that of a conductor and an insulator. Devices made from semiconductor materials are the foundation of modern electronics, including radio, computers, telephones and many other devices.
Excludes technological developments of semiconductors.
Soft condensed matter is a subfield of condensed matter comprising a variety of physical states that are easily deformed by thermal stresses or thermal fluctuations. They include liquids, colloids, polymers, foams, gels, granular materials, and a number of biological materials.
Surface science is the study of the physical and chemical phenomena that occur at the interface of two phases, including solid-liquid interfaces, solid-gas interfaces, solid-vacuum interfaces, and liquid-gas interfaces.
