The future

Here is a selection of extracts from interviews with contemporary scientists and actors of the Solvay Conferences on Physics and on Chemistry. These extracts not only offer a glimpse of the future of physics and chemistry and of their growth possibilities (biochemistry, bioinformatics, quantum computing, the environment and renewable energy, green chemistry, multiverses, etc.), but also evoke the future of the International Solvay Institutes for Physics and for Chemistry.
