Year All

The Physical Society of Hong Kong and the American Physical Society have agreed to hold a satellite conference in Hong Kong during the APS March Meeting from March 16 to 21, 2025. Some academic presentations made at the Hong Kong venue can be simultaneously broadcasted to the online platform of the APS March Meeting, and attendees can also view presentations from the APS online platform. Under the circumstances where some researchers are unable to attend the meeting in the United States due to visa issues, our conference will provide a valuable platform for them to showcase their research achievements and engage in academic exchanges with international collaborators.
