The Science Festival

Dear team leaders, participants and guests! We are happy to announce that the Science Festival of ISPhO has just started!

9 lectures on physics, technology and interdisciplinary sciences will be published here.

The Science Festival aims to demonstrate to the Olympiad participants their excellent opportunities for self-expression in different scientific fields. We hope that you will find the lectures useful for your future studies and for solving the Olympiad tasks in particular.

8. The 8^th lecture is the «How condensed matter emerges from molecules or atoms. Van der Waals forces» by Vladimir Pudalov, Doctor of Physical and Mathematical Sciences.
Assume that we know and fully understand all the fundamental laws of Nature, and have identified all the elementary particles. Will we be able to explain all physical phenomena based on this knowledge?
