See important publications in materials physics for more details on this field of study.

The award is made every year for distinguished research in condensed matter or materials physics and consists of a silver medal and a prize of £1000.

The overlap between physics and materials science has led to the offshoot field of 'materials physics', which is concerned with the physical properties of materials.

Anders Flodström (born 1944) is a Swedish professor of materials physics at the Royal Institute of Technology.

In 1985 he was appointed professor of materials physics at the Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm.

The MSL is dedicated to solving challenging problems in condensed matter and materials physics using computers as research tools.

Empirical potentials used in chemistry are frequently called force fields, while those used in materials physics are called just empirical or analytical potentials.

The recipient is chosen for "an outstanding contributor to the field of materials physics, who is noted for the quality of his/her research, review articles and lecturing."

The fundamental materials physics of CrN, giving rise to its favorable properties, has been debated recently in high-profile scientific journals such as Nature Materials.

Published research involves materials biology, materials physics, materials chemistry, materials engineering, and environmental science.
