Transitions still to be made
Article Abstract:
Twentieth century physics will probably be remembered for quantum mechanics, relativity and the Standard Model of particle physics. However there are still important issues in cosmology and high-energy physics whose solutions need an understanding of phase transitions. Such systems constitute most of the tangible Universe and the theories describing them are one of the most useful contributions of physics.
