Strongly Coupled Coulomb Systems 2025

The Strongly Coupled Coulomb Systems (SCCS) 2025 conference has concluded, and the historical SCCS archives remain accessible at sccs-meeting.org

SCCS 2025 will be held July 27 - August 1, 2025, in Lake Tahoe, Nevada, USA. The conference is hosted by the University of Nevada, Reno's Department of Physics. 

Strongly Coupled Coulomb Systems (SCCS) is a major series of international conferences for scientists drawn from the Plasma Physics, Astrophysics, and Condensed Matter Physics communities.

SCCS 2025 will provide a forum for the presentation and discussion of research achievements and ideas relating to a variety of plasma, liquid, and condensed matter systems that are dominated by strong Coulomb interactions between their constituents. Each meeting has seen an evolution of topics and emphases that have followed new discoveries and techniques. The field has continued to see new experimental tools and access to strongly coupled conditions, most recently in the areas of warm matter, dusty plasmas, condensed matter, and ultra-cold plasmas. 

This year, the conference convenes in the picturesque setting of Stateline, Nevada, nestled on the captivating shores of Lake Tahoe, offering attendees not only a stimulating academic environment but also the opportunity to immerse themselves in the serene beauty of one of the world's most stunning alpine lakes
