“Quantum Physics of Matter: materials, energy and environment” is one of the study plan plans offered by the Master’s Degree in Physics, but it is also a lively research area that involves experimentalists, theoreticians, and computational scientists. Research topics range from plasmas to condensed matter and disordered systems, from green chemistry to materials for energy and from biological matter to environmental problems.
