Advances in Chemical Physics
Encyclopedia
Advances in Chemical Physics (abbreviation: Adv. Chem. Phys.) is a peer reviewed, scientific journal
in the fields of chemistry
and physics
and related interdisciplinary fields (e.g. biophysics
). The form of each publication is a book made of chapters, where all the chapters in a specific book are of a particular field. Every chapter comes from an established scientist in the subject of the book. The books are usually published once (or twice) a year. Examples for the topics covered include:
'Time, Irreversibility and Self-Organization', University of Brussels, December 2–3, 2004.
Since the first book in 1958 and until 2010, either Ilya Prigogine
or Stuart A. Rice
acted as series editor. Since 2011, the series editor is Aaron R. Dinner.
The publisher of Advances in Chemical Physics is John Wiley & Sons

Physics
Physics is a natural science that involves the study of matter and its motion through spacetime, along with related concepts such as energy and force. More broadly, it is the general analysis of nature, conducted in order to understand how the universe behaves.Physics is one of the oldest academic...
