Outline of applied physics
From Infogalactic: the planetary knowledge core
The following outline is provided as an overview of and topical guide to applied physics:
Applied physics – physics intended for a particular technological or practical use.[1] It is usually considered as a bridge or a connection between "pure" physics and engineering.[2]
