The Institut des molécules et de la matière condensée de Lille - IMMCL Chevreul (Institut des Molécules et de la Matière Condensée de Lille (French)
Institute for molecules and condensed matter
in Lille) is a physics and chemistry research institute. It is a member of the Université Lille Nord de France

's innovations on sulfuric acid production and researches on using platinum catalysis for industrial production of nitric acid from ammonia (from 1823 to 1833).
The faculty of sciences of Lille was however formally established in 1854 only, with a chemist as its first dean (Louis Pasteur
). Hence, academic and applied researches in chemistry, catalysis, and later molecular physics, were boosted from the 19th century onwards and further developed in the 20th and 21st centuries, both in fundamental research and applied research thanks to industry applications.

Condensed matter physics
Condensed matter physics deals with the physical properties of condensed phases of matter. These properties appear when a number of atoms at the supramolecular and macromolecular scale interact strongly and adhere to each other or are otherwise highly concentrated in a system. The most familiar...
