Scientists whose primary working field is a physical science: physics, chemistry, astronomy, astrophysics, cosmology, materials science or a related discipline that studies non-living matter and energy. Grouped by the same physical/life/earth/formal branches used for the discipline and experiment subcategory trees this atlas already carries, so a scientist and the discipline they work in group under matching branch names. A scientist who has worked in more than one branch is placed under the branch their most historically significant contribution belongs to, not split across groups.
