Open Access Unrestricted online access. star There are many images of science and the activities of scientists. Some would imply that science will eventually reach the limits of knowledge while others create an expectation of endless horizons. Some people would believe that science has or will provide the answers to key open questions that lie ahead, while others experience fear regarding its development. In this book, we will look at all these aspects, going from particles, via atoms, cells, stars, galaxies, our place in the universe, to explore what makes us, human beings, really unique in nature: our ability to imagine and shape the future by making use of the scientific method. The book is an EPS action designed to address the social dimension of science and the grand challenges in physics that will bring radical change to developed societies, raise standards of living at the global scale, and provide basic understanding of nature on the horizon 2050. Policy makers and the physics community in general. Also available in print. Mode of access: World Wide Web. System requirements: Adobe Acrobat Reader, EPUB reader, or Kindle reader. Carlos Hidalgo received his PhD degree from Madrid Complutense University with his work on structural defects in solids and positron annihilation spectroscopy. His next area of research was related to plasma turbulence, transport and plasma diagnostics at CIEMAT where he is currently leading the Spanish National Fusion Laboratory. Carlos has worked in different international laboratories, initially as a PhD student (Technical University of Denmark, Nuclear Research Centre of Grenoble, Technical University of Helsinki) and later as visiting scientist (Fusion Centre at the University of Austin (US), Oak Ridge National Laboratory (US), Joint European Torus (UK), Max Planck Institute (Germany), National Institute Fusion Studies (Japan), Southwestern Institute of Physics (SWIP, China)). He has led different research teams in the framework of the International Fusion Programme and participated in European and International Advisory Committees on Fusion Science and Technology. He has chaired the Division of Plasma Physics and the Forum on Physics and Society of the European Physical Society. Title from PDF title page (viewed on April 11, 2024).
