Physics (from the Greek, φυσικός (phusikos), natural, and φύσις (phusis), nature) is the science of nature in the broadest sense. ... 1970 was a common year starting on Thursday. ... In physics, a ferrimagnetic material is one in which the magnetic moment of the atoms on different sublattices oppose as in antiferromagnetism but the opposing moments are unequal and a spontaneous magnetization remains. ... Solid-state physics, the largest branch of condensed matter physics, is the study of rigid matter, or solids. ...
