2. List of states of matter - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_states_of_matter

   Supercritical fluid: A fluid with properties intermediate of liquids and gasses. At sufficiently high temperatures and pressures, the distinction between liquid and gas disappears, resulting in supercritical fluids. Plasma: Unlike gases, which are composed of neutral atoms, plasma contains a significant number of free electrons and ionized atoms.

3. State of matter - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/State_of_matter

   In regular cold matter, quarks, fundamental particles of nuclear matter, are confined by the strong force into hadrons that consist of 2–4 quarks, such as protons and neutrons. Quark matter or quantum chromodynamical (QCD) matter is a group of phases where the strong force is overcome and quarks are deconfined and free to move.

4. List of materials properties - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_materials_properties

   A material property is an intensive property of a material, i.e., a physical property or chemical property that does not depend on the amount of the material. These quantitative properties may be used as a metric by which the benefits of one material versus another can be compared, thereby aiding in materials selection.

5. Composition of matter - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Composition_of_matter

   After extended litigation, in 2000, a Canadian court permitted issuance of a patent on a mouse as a "composition of matter." [14] However, in 2002, the Canadian Supreme Court reversed that ruling and held (5-4) that the mouse itself could not be patented, but the biochemical process used to modify it could be. [15]

6. Chemistry - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemistry

   Chemistry is the scientific study of the properties and behavior of matter. [1] It is a physical science within the natural sciences that studies the chemical elements that make up matter and compounds made of atoms, molecules and ions: their composition, structure, properties, behavior and the changes they undergo during reactions with other substances.

7. Intensive and extensive properties - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intensive_and_extensive...

   The ratio of two extensive properties of the same object or system is an intensive property. For example, the ratio of an object's mass and volume, which are two extensive properties, is density, which is an intensive property. [9] More generally properties can be combined to give new properties, which may be called derived or composite properties.
