	Applied physics - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Applied physics is physics that is intended for a particular technological or practical use, as for example in engineering, as opposed to basic research.
		Applied physics is rooted in the fundamental truths and basic concepts of the physical sciences but is concerned with the utilization of scientific principles in practical devices and systems, and in the application of physics in other areas of science.
		"Applied" is distinguished from "pure" by a subtle combination of factors such as the motivation and attitude of researchers and the nature of the relationship to the technology or science that may be affected by the work.

	2006-2007 UAF Catalog
		The science of physics is concerned with the nature of matter and energy for all physical systems, from elementary particles to the structure and origin of the universe.
		Physics, together with mathematics and chemistry, provides the foundation for work in all fields of the physical sciences and engineering and contributes greatly to other fields such as the biosciences and medicine.
		The field of applied physics encompasses those areas that have developed practical applications from fundamental research in physics in the last century, including space physics, plasma physics, condensed matter physics, device physics, surface physics, biophysics, laser physics and reactor physics.
