Trends, events and predictions for 2019

10 Jan 2019 James Dacey

In the first episode of the year of Physics World Weekly, our journalists gaze into their crystal balls to predict the future. Hamish Johnston, Matin Durrani and Susan Curtis forecast the key trends in physics and related areas of science, including the unabating rise of quantum-based technologies. They also preview some of the year’s key events including the International Year of the Periodic Table (IYPT2019), a United Nations-backed initiative to celebrate the 150th anniversary of the table’s creation by Dmitri Mendeleev. Readers of Physics World magazine can also discover some of the highlights to look out for in the monthly publication during 2019.
