Vision Papers

Visions is a series of papers which highlight exciting new areas of research in physics, and their theoretical and technological implications. From fundamental areas such as the quest to understand the forces of nature to the practical applications of high-intensity lasers, these papers show how physics pervades all areas of science.

The papers follow a similar format. A basic introduction to the physics behind the topic is followed by a selection of examples of current and possible future use.
