2. Bose–Einstein condensate - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bose–Einstein_condensate

   Category. v. t. e. Illustration of Bose-Einstein condensation: as the temperature of the ensemble of bosons is reduced, the overlap between the particles' wavefunctions increases as the thermal de Broglie wavelength increases. At one point, when the overlap becomes significant, a macroscopic number of particles condense into the ground state.

3. Wave–particle duality - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wave–particle_duality

   Wave–particle duality. Wave-particle duality is the concept in quantum mechanics that quantum entities exhibit particle or wave properties according to the experimental circumstances. [ 1 ]: 59 It expresses the inability of the classical concepts such as particle or wave to fully describe the behavior of quantum objects. [ 2 ]: III:1-1 During ...

4. Elementary particle - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elementary_particle

   By that time the advent of quantum mechanics had radically altered the definition of a "particle" by putting forward an understanding in which they carried out a simultaneous existence as matter waves. [4] [5] Many theoretical elaborations upon, and beyond, the Standard Model have been made since its codification in the 1970s.

5. Condensed matter physics - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Condensed_matter_physics

   e. Condensed matter physics is the field of physics that deals with the macroscopic and microscopic physical properties of matter, especially the solid and liquid phases, that arise from electromagnetic forces between atoms and electrons. More generally, the subject deals with condensed phases of matter: systems of many constituents with strong ...

6. Matter - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matter

   Matter is a general term describing any 'physical substance'. By contrast, mass is not a substance but rather a quantitative property of matter and other substances or systems; various types of mass are defined within physics – including but not limited to rest mass, inertial mass, relativistic mass, mass–energy.

7. List of states of matter - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_states_of_matter

   List of states of matter. Matter organizes into various phases or states of matter depending on its constituents and external factors like pressure and temperature. In common temperatures and pressures, atoms form the three classical states of matter: solid, liquid and gas. Complex molecules can also form various mesophases such as liquid ...

8. Glossary of chemistry terms - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glossary_of_chemistry_terms

   This glossary of chemistry terms is a list of terms and definitions relevant to chemistry, including chemical laws, diagrams and formulae, laboratory tools, glassware, and equipment. Chemistry is a physical science concerned with the composition, structure, and properties of matter , as well as the changes it undergoes during chemical reactions ...

9. Introduction to quantum mechanics - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Introduction_to_quantum...

   e. Quantum mechanics is the study of matter and its interactions with energy on the scale of atomic and subatomic particles. By contrast, classical physics explains matter and energy only on a scale familiar to human experience, including the behavior of astronomical bodies such as the moon. Classical physics is still used in much of modern ...
