Since the birth of Physical Review Letters fifty years ago‚ condensed matter physics has seen considerable growth‚ and both the journal and the field have flourished during this period. In this essay‚ I begin with some general comments about condensed matter physics and then give some personal views on the conceptual development of the field and list some highlights. The focus is mostly on theoretical developments. DOI: 10.1103/PhysRevLett.101.250001 PACS numbers: 01.30.−y The transistor

While the considerable number of mainland visitors from the Individual Visit Scheme still remains controversial‚ the government has decided to open the city’s door even wider. From next month‚ there will be an additional of 4.1 million non-permanent Shenzhen residents that can make multiple visits to Hong Kong due to the change in permit rules. In addition‚ non-local residents of another five places can make single visit to Hong Kong without being required to make application from their hometown

BUFFER STOCK SCHEMES The prices of agricultural products such as wheat‚ cotton‚ cocoa‚ tea and coffee tend to fluctuate more than prices of manufactured products and services. This is largely due to the volatility in the market supply of agricultural products coupled with the fact that demand and supply are price inelastic. Products with unstable conditions of supply and demand will experience price fluctuations. Agricultural (farm) prices tend to be volatile because: Supply changes because

3. Recent technological developments have allowed greater use of the electromagnetic spectrum 1. describe electromagnetic waves in terms of their speed in space and their lack of requirement of a medium for propagation In space (a vacuum) electromagnetic waves travel at the speed of light‚ a constant equal to 3.00108ms1. Unlike sound waves‚ electromagnetic waves do not vibrate particles‚ therefore they do not need a medium (substance) to propagate (move). 2. identify the electromagnetic wavebands

by giving benefit packages in financial security and health care. Social Security schemes are designed to guarantee at least long-term sustenance to families when the earning member retires‚ dies or suffers a disability.
