The 1 st day ofthe forum focused on We national political environment surrounding materials science, the finding constraints under which materials scientists must operate, and the changing roles of government laboratories, industry, and academic institutions in promoting materials science. The 2nd day focused on education, infi~cture, and emerging areas in condensed-matter physics and materials science.

. Krebs identitled a number of future directions and opportunities in materials research including neutron scatter ing, materials at high magnetic fields, sp2-bonded materials, granular materials, complex materials, and high-temperature superconductors.

Only if the direct impact of Mathematical and Physical Sciences research on these other fields and on society in general is demonstrated and argued convincingly. Quoting Neal Lane, "It is necessary to involve materials scientists in a new role, undoubtedly an awkward one for many, that might be called the 'civic scientist.' This role is one in which science shares in defining our future." Materials R&D in a Changing World Report of the Committee on Condensed Matter and Materials Physics The focal point of the forum was the report ofthe Committee on Condensed-Matter and Materials Physics (CMMP)

In particular, for neutron scattering, the development ofthe graphite reactor at Oak Ridge, the National Research Universal reactor in Canada, and the development of neutron waveguides marked significant breakthroughs in the use of neutrons for materials research. We stand now on another threshold with the planned construction of the SpalIation Neutron Source at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory.

Novel Quantum Phenomena in Condensed-Matter Systems tellectual challenges are left when one considers the physics of well-known objects, such as atoms, that interact via well-defined and well-understood electromagneticforces. Superconductivity,superfluidity,and the fractional quantum Hall effect are three recent examples of surprises lurking in familiar systems.

in an animated presentation, Stormer took the forum attendees through the initial discovery of the quantum Hall effect to experiments performed under very high magnetic fields where fractionally charged excitations are observed.
