AIP in China

The pursuit of the knowledge of physics transcends national boundaries. Physicists worldwide share a common vision: to inspire and improve human lives through the knowledge of physics and its applications to human welfare. Through its Beijing office, AIP seeks to gain a better understanding of the Chinese physics community, improve communication between U.S. and Chinese physicists, and support the advancement of China's physical science enterprise.
