disciplinesphysics
Disciplines in physics are the organized branches that study matter, energy, and their interactions. While physics as a whole seeks universal principles, its disciplines focus on particular questions, scales, and methodologies. Researchers typically distinguish theoretical, experimental, and computational approaches, which shape the questions asked and the techniques used.
Theoretical physics develops models, equations, and conceptual frameworks to predict phenomena and explain observations. Experimental physics
Major subdisciplines include atomic, molecular, and optical physics; condensed matter physics; nuclear and particle physics; astrophysics
Methods and tools common to these disciplines include accelerators, telescopes, spectrometers, and detectors; lasers and cryogenic
