So Close and Such a Stranger: a documentary about Condensed Matter Physics



We here present the documentary “Condensed Matter Physics: So Close and Such a Stranger”, directed by Dr. E. Prada, Dr. I. Guillamón and Dr. E. Sahagún.

For the spanish version of the documentary:

Both the animations and the music have been performed by Scixel (

The So-Close project:
We are a group of young condensed matter physicists of the Universidad Autónoma de Madrid with a strong interest in outreach and public dissemination of science.

Thanks to a grant obtained within the Outreach program from the American Physical Society, we have initiated an exciting project to deliver a series of videos that describe the challenges and impact of the research in Condensed Matter Physics. We aim at inspiring the general public, but specially students at the high-school level or at their first years of a degree in science.

The project has also been funded by the Universidad Autónoma de Madrid and the Grupo Especializado de Física del Estado Sólido (RSEF).

The project’s name is Condensed Matter Physics: so close and such a stranger.
