Few-body Physics: Advances and Prospects in Theory and Experiment

The 614^th Wilhelm and Else Heraeus Seminar will take place at the Physikzentrum in Bad Honnef, Germany, from 18-20 April 2016.

The interaction of particles or macroscopic bodies is a key element of Nature for building up nuclei, atoms, molecules, gaseous, liquid or solid states of matter, and even the system of planets with galaxies.

Ukrainian Physicists Experiment with Internet Seminars

In the 20^th century, Ukraine held a respected position in the international physics community due to the quality of its research and researchers. However, in the 21^st century, the physics community, like much of the rest of Ukraine, is facing many challenges.

A seminar on “rare earths” for a sustainable Earth

The Young Minds Section of Catania, Italy, had the pleasure to invite Prof. Andries Meijerink, from Utrecht University, for a seminar on rare earths. He has contributed significantly to the development of this field through his research and publications. Rare earths are also called Lanthanides, derived from the Greek word “λανθανειν” (to lie hidden). This group of elements, hidden at the bottom of the periodic table, remains scarce as China decided to limit the export of these elements.
Rare earths are not well known. However, the unique chemical, magnetic and optical properties give them…
