  Physics - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Physics (from the Greek, φυσικός (phusikos), "natural", and φύσις (phusis), "nature") is the science of the natural world in the broadest sense, dealing with the fundamental constituents of the universe, the forces they exert on one another, and the results produced by these forces.
Physics is sometimes said to be the "fundamental science", because each of the other natural sciences (biology, chemistry, geology, etc.) deals with particular types of material systems that obey the laws of physics.
Condensed matter physics, by most estimates the largest single field of physics, is concerned with how the properties of bulk matter, such as the ordinary solids and liquids we encounter in everyday life, arise from the properties and mutual interactions of the constituent atoms.

 Chemical physics - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Chemical physics is a subdiscipline of physics that investigates physicochemical phenomena using techniques from atomic and molecular physics and condensed matter physics; it is the branch of physics that studies chemical processes from the point of view of physics.
Chemical physicists commonly probe the structure and dynamics of ions, free radicals, polymers, cluster ions, and molecules; seek to understand the quantum mechanical behavior of chemical reactions; study the process of solvation; and investigate single entities such as quantum dots.
The goals of chemical physics research include understanding chemical structures and reactions at the quantum mechanical level, elucidating the structure and reactivity of gas phase ions, and discovering new approaches to explaining chemical physics.
