Some trends of development of physics in future decades

In non-oriented systems physics, research is focused on the study of the role of electrostatic electron interactions in the hopping conduction processes and on amorphous magnetism physics. Low temperature physics includes, eg., the study of 3He superfluidity. The uses are described of liquid crystals and polymers in physics. Plasma physics studies the behaviour of materials in limit states. Lasers can be used in integrated optics, technology and medicine. Mathematical physics includes the physical applications of the dynamic systems theory and the soliton theory. (H.S.)
