Beyond MATTER consisting of atoms bonded together through their chemical affinities with a wealth of natural (Geological as quartz -SiO2 and the rarely occurring high pressure form Stishovite) and man-made compounds like boron nitride BN, the concept of MATERIAL comes as enlarged scope of science, where Material = Matter + properties. This is especially relevant when it comes to applications.
