Definition
物性 refers to the physical or chemical properties of a substance or material — its inherent characteristics such as density, hardness, conductivity, or reactivity. It's a technical term used in physics, chemistry, and materials science. Unlike the broader English 'properties of matter,' 物性 typically focuses on measurable, intrinsic attributes rather than philosophical or abstract qualities.
