Last year's forum

"The Energy Challenge"

October 14-16, 2007, Seattle, WA

How will we power tomorrow's world?

As we face broader economic development, global climate consequences, and limited fossil fuel supplies, scientists are increasingly called upon for solutions. This year's Industrial Physics Forum brings together a collegial group of researchers who will share results from the frontiers of traditional and alternative energy solutions.
