Physics is the most fundamental of all the sciences and has fueled most of the scientific and technological developments that we take for granted today. Apart from basic discoveries, such as electromagnetism and nuclear energy, physics is also the science behind modern technologies such as the Internet and mobile phones. Life-changing developments such as the silicon integrated circuit and MRI scanners were also pioneered by physicists. Today physicists continue to lead discovery, invention and innovation in revolutionary but yet-to-be-exploited physics:
- quantum information and communications technology (q-ICT),
- nanosystems design,
- ultrafast molecular switching,
- terahertz medical imaging, etc
