Issues

Including black holes in the scheme of thermodynamics has disclosed a deep‐seated connection between gravitation, heat and the quantum that may lead us to a synthesis of the corresponding branches of physics.

Phenomenological rate equations, chemical rules and computations based on processes at the atomic and microstructural levels contribute to our understanding of corrosion, radiation damage and catalysis.

This summary of the APS Physics Manpower Panel's report explores the employment paths of recent PhD's, looks at attitudes and expectations, and makes projections for future supply and demand.
