EPL celebrates 25th anniversary
The 25th anniversary of EPL was celebrated at the symposium ‘Exploring the Frontiers of Physics’, which was held between 3-4 May at the Bavarian Academy of Sciences and Humanities, in Munich.
With 250 participants – including 90 students – and a broad range of lectures from a panel of leading researchers, the conference presented many opportunities for intensive exchanges between new and experienced scientists – especially at the symposium dinner, where each table was hosted by one of the speakers, or another senior scientist.
True to EPL’s all encompassing nature, the symposium offered topics ranging from the big to the small: with ‘What makes a spiral galaxy tick?’, ‘Is NANO all around?’ and ‘The Large Hadron Collider – a dream that becomes reality’. Domains of physics, such as ‘Ultra-cold atoms’ and ‘The many faces of the second law of thermo¬dynamics’ were explored as well.
Other lectures addressed the application of physics in biology, medicine and information sciences: namely in ‘Shedding some light on medical diagnosis’, ‘Living at low Reynold’s numbers»’ and ‘Quantum Nonlocality: How does Nature do it? And what can we do with it?’.
The symposium’s celebratory opening session reminded the audience that EPL – previously Europhysics Letters – is owned exclusively by learned societies, that has a current impact factor of 2.9 and – most importantly – that all submitted manuscripts are reviewed by active scientists.
