Encyclopedia > Annalen der Physik

Annalen der Physik is one of the best-known and oldest (it was founded in 1799) physics journals worldwide.


The journal publishes original papers in the areas of experimental, theoretical, applied and mathematical physics and related areas. All papers are strictly peer-reviewed before publication and reflect the progress made in the different areas of physics.


Many very important articles about scientific discoveries have been first published in the journal. Some of these famous papers were:

Einstein - Annalen der Physik (2922 words)
The Annalen der Physik, one of the most influential journals in the history of physics, was founded in 1790 by Friedrich Albert Carl Gren, a professor of physics and chemistry at Halle University.
In 1908 Smoluchowski published a paper on critical opalescence in the Annalen, which dealt with the optical effects occurring near the critical point of a gas and near the critical point of a binary mixture of liquids.
This paper bears clear traces of the gestation period of the theory, as is demonstrated in the historical essay of Michel Janssen.
