The branch of physics that deals with solids is called solid-state physics, and is the main branch of condensed matter physics which also includes liquids. The emerging field of materials science is primarily concerned with the physical and chemical properties of solids and their applications as high performance materials in modern technology. Solid-state chemistry is especially concerned with the synthesis of novel materials, as well as the science of identification and chemical composition. In crystalline solids, the atoms or molecules that compose the solid are packed closely together. These constituent elements have fixed positions in space relative to each other. This accounts for the solid's structural rigidity. In mineralogy and crystallography, a crystal structure is a unique arrangement of atoms in a crystal. A specific symmetry or crystal structure is composed of a Bravais lattice which is typically represented by a single unit cell. The unit cell is periodically repeated in three dimensions on a lattice. The spacing between unit cells in various directions is called its lattice parameters. The symmetry properties of the crystal are embodied in its space group. A crystal's structure and symmetry play a role in determining many of its physical properties, such as cleavage, electronic band structure, and optical properties. Non-crystalline or glassy solids are often referred to as supercooled liquids, but possess the mechanical properties of both a solid and a liquid, depending on the time scale under consideration. In their molecular structure, their molecules do not exhibit the long-range order exhibited by crystalline substances. In addition, while a glassy solid does exhibit some viscous flow and plastic deformation, this only occurs on geologic timescales. Thus, it behaves mechanically as a solid for all practical intents and purposes—and most experimental timescales.

2. What to Look For When Buying Solid Wood Cabinets
November 06, 2009
Almost all cabinets these days will have solid wood face frames and doors (unless they are frameless cabinets), but where you can really judge the quality is in the other materials that are used. I have looked in many places including retail stores, close out auctions, and yard sales, but I keep finding consistently low prices online. While there are some exceptions, in recent year's internet websites that sell solid wood kitchen cabinets, beat most retail stores (including the big box chain stores) in price and value.

5. Solid Wood Cabinets with Plywood Sides versus Cabinets with Particle Board Sides|Plywood vs. Partic
November 06, 2009
Part way into gutting the home we were remodeling, we started the search for the perfect kitchen cabinets. After an exhausting search in several home improvement stores and just about every website I could find online, we really started to like the idea of RTA kitchen cabinets.

The two obvious features of RTA cabinets that stuck out for me, was the quality of construction and price. The construction was significantly better and they... (read more)
