(Gustav-Adolf Voss). Topics discussed include the evolution of theory and experiment as it relates to quantum theory, and a discussion of the future of nuclear fusion power.
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.
