This session was sponsored by the American Physical Society (APS) Forum on the History of Physics, chaired by Reinhardt Schuhmann. Presentations include: "PRL at 50: A history of moving physics forward" (speaker: Saad E. Hebboul); "Phase Transitions and Critical Phenomena" (speaker: H. Eugene Stanley); "Condensed Matter Theory: From Models to First Principles" (speaker: Marvin Cohen); "NMR [nuclear magnetic resonance] and the BCS [Bardeen-Cooper-Schrieffer] Theory" (speaker: Charles P. Slichter); "The Future of Scientific Publishing" (speaker: Jack Sandweiss).
This professional society of educators, industrial and government research workers, and students of physics and related fields, was established in 1899 to promote the advancement and diffusion of the knowledge of physics. It was a founding Member Society of the American Institute of Physics. The American Physical Society (APS) meetings are a forum for scientists to gather and share research results on a wide range of physics and physics-related topics.
