Highlights of International Physics (FIP) Talks @ APS 2020 March Meeting
American Physics Society (APS) March meeting is one of the largest physics meetings in the world. In 2020, the meeting was canceled due to concerns over the rapid spread of COVID-19.
To help the community quickly catch up on the work to be presented in this meeting, Paper Digest Team processed all talk abstracts, and generated one highlight sentence (typically the main topic) for each. Readers are encouraged to read these machine generated highlights / summaries to quickly get the main idea of each talk. This article is on the talks related to International Physics (FIP).

| 2 | The voice of physics in Africa | Gubernatis, James | In 2017, the APS’s Committee on International Scientific Affairs, in co-operation with the IoP, EPS, ICTP, and SAIP conducted a survey of the state and needs of the physics community in Africa. | Session 1: Physics for Development |
| 3 | SESAME project in the Middle East: Synchrotron radiation for sciences | Alp, Esen | SESAME project in the Middle East: Synchrotron radiation for sciences | Session 1: Physics for Development |
| 4 | Fundamental physics and accelerator science in developing countries | Darve, Christine | Fundamental physics and accelerator science in developing countries | Session 1: Physics for Development |
| 5 | Multifunctional Materials for Emerging Technologies | Rosei, Federico | We demonstrate various multifunctional materials, namely materials that exhibit more than one functionality, and structure/property relationships in such systems, including new strategies for the synthesis of multifunctional nanoscale materials to be used for applications in photovoltaics, solar hydrogen production, solar windowsand other emerging technologies. | Session 1: Physics for Development |
| 6 | Mission (Im-)possible: The Decoding of Matter | Dosch, Helmut | Mission (Im-)possible: The Decoding of Matter | Session 2: Physics with Accelerators |
| 7 | THE EUROPEAN SPALLATION SOURCE | Womersley, John | I will present an update on the European Spallation Source. | Session 2: Physics with Accelerators |
| 8 | The ASU Compact XFEL Project | Graves, William; Fromme, Petra; Holl, Mark; Malin, Lucas; Messerschmidt, Marc; Nanni, Emilio; Sandhu, Arvinder; Tantawi, Sami; Tilton, Sean; Spence, John | We will present experimental results demonstrating the first steps in this method. | Session 2: Physics with Accelerators |
| 9 | Plasma-based accelerators driven by particle beams | Corde, Sebastien | As we push the frontier of particle physics to higher particle energies, conventional accelerator techniques are attaining their limits. | Session 2: Physics with Accelerators |
| 10 | High Gradient Accelerators at THz Frequencies | Nanni, Emilio | We aim to explore new accelerating structures designed to withstand high gradients, power them with the newest generation of THz sources and lay the foundation for THz accelerator technology. | Session 2: Physics with Accelerators |
| 11 | Atomically thin van der Waals magnets: a career in flatland | Navarro-Moratalla, Efren | In this talk I will narrate the launch of my independent reasearch carrier, which has been intimately tied to our discovery of the first free-standing 2D ferromagnet made out of a single layer of a ferromagnetic insulator: chromium triiodide. | Session 3: Top Science in Europe: Early Career Scientists and the ERC Grants |
| 12 | Electrocatalysis from two-dimensional materials: an ERC project | Voiry, Damien | To do so, we have recently reported the fabrication of electrochemical microcells using microfabrication techniques2. | Session 3: Top Science in Europe: Early Career Scientists and the ERC Grants |
| 13 | Obtaining an ERC Starting Grant | Susi, Toma | In this talk, I will describe my journey from designing a high-risk, high-reward frontier research project to writing a successful proposal and presenting it to my peers in a grant interview. | Session 3: Top Science in Europe: Early Career Scientists and the ERC Grants |
| 14 | PHYSICS FOR SOCIETY: GRAND CHALLENGES IN THE HORIZON 2050 | Hidalgo, Carlos | PHYSICS FOR SOCIETY: GRAND CHALLENGES IN THE HORIZON 2050 | Session 3: Top Science in Europe: Early Career Scientists and the ERC Grants |
| 15 | Connecting the (Quantum) Dots: Road to ERC Funding | Di Stasio, Francesco | In this talk, I will present some recent results on NC light-emitting diodes (LEDs) based on PbS and perovskite nanocrystals, operating both in the visible and in the infrared spectral range. | Session 3: Top Science in Europe: Early Career Scientists and the ERC Grants |
