The development of transistors, the integrated circuit,
liquid-crystal displays, and even DVD players can be traced back
to fundamental research pioneered in the field of
condensed-matter and materials physics (CMPP). The United States
has been a leader in the field, but that status is now in
jeopardy.

Physics 2010 decadal survey project, assesses the
present state of the field in the United States, examines
possible directions for the 21st century, offers a set of
scientific challenges for American researchers to tackle, and
makes recommendations for effective spending of federal funds.
This book maintains that the field of CMPP is certain to be
principle to both scientific and economic advances over the next
decade and the lack of an achievable plan would leave the United
States behind. This book's discussion of the intellectual and
technological challenges of the coming decade centers around six
grand challenges concerning energy demand, the physics of life,
information technology, nanotechnology, complex phenomena, and
behavior far from equilibrium. Policy makers, university
administrators, industry research and development executives
dependent upon developments in CMPP, and scientists working in
the field will find this book of interest.
