mattergeometry
Mattergeometry is an interdisciplinary field that studies how the distribution of matter and the geometry of space influence each other. It encompasses the ways in which geometric structures—such as lattices, manifolds, curvatures, and topological defects—govern material properties, while conversely the arrangement and dynamics of matter induce geometric changes in space and constraints on possible configurations.
Key ideas include differential geometry and topology applied to materials science, geometric frustration in magnetic and
Applications span condensed matter physics, photonic and phononic metamaterials, soft matter and colloidal systems, tissue engineering,
While not always named "mattergeometry," the approach appears across disciplines and represents a unifying perspective for
