Solid State Physics - What is it?
Solid state physics is exactly what the name says, it's the study of the physics (physical properties) of solids and how they emanate from properties at the atomic level.
In other words, it is about how the micro impacts the macro.
Practically speaking, solid state physics is the theoretic basis of the very practical science of Materials. Materials science has led to the development, for example, of composite materials.
Many universities are pursuing research into solid state physics. Examples include Warwick University which has a research team focusing on ssNMR (solid state nuclear magnetic resonance).
Solid state physics aside, it is extraordinarily beneficial to understand physics in general to understand:
a) how the world works
b) understand the future of science
