Critical Phenomena: Proceedings of a Conference Held in Washington, D. C., April 1965 (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Critical Phenomena: Proceedings of a Conference Held in Washington, D. C., April 1965

One of the important responsibilities of the National Bureau of Standards is to help the Nation meet its needs for accurately measured. Critically evaluated, and well-understood properties of materials. To aid in fulfilling this responsibility, the Bureau joined with the National Science Foundation and the Office of Naval Research in sponsoring a Conference on Phenomena in the Neighborhood of Critical Points, which was held at nbs in Washington, DC, April 5 to 8, 1965. The Conference was attended by approximately 200 scientists from this country and abroad. Representing many laboratories and disciplines. Most of the papers presented at the Conference, as well as the subsequent discussions, are included in this volume. Primary responsibility for their technical content must rest, of course, with the individual authors and their organizations.
