are concepts which were developed and recognized since the beginning of the 20" century. This includes topics concerned with the behavior of matter and energy under extreme conditions (the very large and the very small) such asquantum effects which usually involve distances comparable to atoms (roughly 1 x 10 " m).

deals with the study of the components structure and properties of atoms.

deals with the structure properties reactions and evolutions of atomic nuclei.

deals on the indivisible units of energy called quanta as described in the Quantum theory

(Condensed Matter Physics) deals with the study of solid materials which include semiconductors and superconductivity.

deals with the study of ionized (electrically charge) gases.

deals with phenomena that take place in a frame of reference that is in motion with respect to an observer.

includes topics which were developed up until the 1920s and recognized before the beginning of the 20th century. It rests on three theoretical pillars: Newtonian Mechanics, Thermodynamics, and Electromagnetic Theory.

study of forces acting on bodies at rest or in motion. describes the behavior of bodies with forces acting upon them.

fundamental science of the world of nature. It deals with the study of matter and energy and their interactions. It explains and describes the physical happenings in the universe. It can also be defined as a science of measurement.
