Volume 2221: The 1st International Conference on Physics and Applied Physics (The 1st ICP&AP) 2019

Summary of this volume: Industry 4.0 emphasizes the integration among physical, digital and biological systems, which can be applied for human lives and civilizations. The extent to which this transformation will have a positive impact depends on how we can navigate the risks and opportunities that arise in the future. In order to face the challenge of industry 4.0, we need to prepare ourselves by employing these four issues: critical thinking, creativity, communication, collaboration. Based on the above explanation of industry 4.0, Universitas Sumatera Utara (USU), Indonesia, found that it was necessary to involve as a part of this industry trend, especially in Department of Physics, as a foundation of technology and sciences institute. Thus, Department of Physics USU addressed the above four issues, required for industry 4.0, by conducting an event called International Conference on Physics and Applied Physics (ICP&AP), which was held on 12th - 13th September 2019. The theme that was delivered was "Fundamental and Innovative Research for Improving Competitive Dignified Nation and Industrial Revolution 4.0".

These proceedings will be of interest to: Postgraduate Students, Physics Researchers, and Lecturers.
