High pressure physics, and the equipment to reach pressures nobody had made.

He also wrote extensively on the scientific method and on other aspects of the philosophy of science. The Bridgman effect, the Bridgman-Stockbarger technique, and the high-pressure mineral bridgmanite are named after him.
