Condensed Matter Physics is a vibrant, exciting, and robust field of Physics. It studies anything that is bigger than an atom and smaller than a mountain. New discoveries are frequent, many with applications to technology and direct benefit to society. The experimental programs at the University of Massachusetts at Amherst span a broad spectrum array of energy and size scales. Our core strengths are in quantum matter, soft matter, and biological matter.
