Physics Plenary (4): Lights Source & Materials Physics
- Simon Connell (University of Johannesburg (ZA))
Light sources proved to be super-efficient in a wide range of applications such as physics, chemistry, biology, geology, biomedicine, agriculture, environment, materials science, cultural heritage and archeology. Therefore, their scientific and societal impact on education, science and technology development, besides capacity building, cannot be doubted. During the last two decades, a huge...
Africa has abundant materials that have not been fully utilized to make a significant impact on the development of the continent. Given that Condensed Matter and Materials Physics deals with properties of matter at ordinary chemical and thermal energy scales, it has the largest number of direct practical applications. Condensed Matter and Materials Physics has played a key role in the...
