Absolutely spot on! Condensed matter is the largest sector in physics research, yet it's rarely talked about! Even in astrophysics, it's the condensed matter physicists that develop new components and semiconductors that allow us to make the most advanced observatories! You're right that the content online is very tailored to the professionals, and it would be good to see more channels open up for the general public. We need to encourage some of our friends to start making videos it seems!
The field is criminally under appreciated by the public (except for in areas such as quantum computing and certain applied areas). So it was nice to talk about this.
Subir Sachdev, xiao gang wen has tgeir own channel, you find lots of lecture there, also many other physics channels pronote condensed matter physics levtures . Chubukov also have great lectures uploaded . Most of the channels you mentioned here is not condensed matter physics soecific.
@thecaribbeanbookworm5066 no problem, you can also look at Sean Hartnoll which also works in both regime, or duncan Haldane lectures , as alternative topologica phases and orders , fracton, fractional quantum hall states, quantum hall liquids ,spin glass, floquet, etc
You kidding me? Condensed matter is everywhere. All universities have it India. It gets so much funding. At least here in India. Maybe it is not as popular in public domain. But that has changed as well.
I have no doubt that it is very common in some countries. I think it is equally as common in the US as well as a lot of other places. But my focus is on the public domain. Because usually this is the first exposure a prospective student of the discipline is going to get. A lot of people go into uni thinking they might do high energy physics, astrophysics, or some other exotic areas of physics. I think the lack of awareness condensed matter has in the public domain is something that could be improved upon. Since it does have poor 'marketing' (for lack of a better word), and we can't deny this (except in areas like quantum computing, chip industry, or superconductors). I hope this clarified things.
I spent a lot of time talking about these things because I think they're equally as important (if not more) than the actual science. Since these are the things that determine whether scientists have a job to begin with. Around 18:35 I start talking more about open problems in condensed matter physics. Feel free to skip to that point. So although it took me a while to get there, I would not diminish the relevance of the things you have just mentioned yourself.

Exactly! Hopefully we get them to try and convince use that phonons are indeed a thing haha
CM field is extremely interesting and covers a lot from metal to superfuids. I graduated in that field decades ago and still find it awesome
Cond. Mat. is just so fascinating these day. Stuff on confinement and stuff on practical limits of classical thermodynamics.

My guy....you hit the nail on the head!
I’m glad the message resonated with you!
I see Condensed Matter Physics as a hint towards Fractal Universe.

Thank your so much for these recommendations! I will have a look at all of these.

8 mins in and I have learned a tiny bit about politics in funding and NOTHING about Condensed Matter.
It’s 32 minutes. You have the attention span of a monkey

18 minutes to get to the start of a point is one hell of an ask.
Try better.
