The American Institute of Physics (AIP) is a professional organization dedicated to advancing and promoting the knowledge of physics and its application to human welfare. Founded in 1931, AIP serves a federation of physical science societies in a wide spectrum of disciplines, and its membership includes not only physicists but also students and professionals in related fields. The institute’s activities include publishing scientific journals and magazines, such as “Physics Today” and the “Journal of Applied Physics,” and providing services such as the Niels Bohr Library and Archives. AIP also focuses on education and outreach programs designed to inspire and educate future generations of scientists. Additionally, the institute engages in policy advocacy, aiming to enhance science education and research funding. AIP’s mission is to promote the advancement and diffusion of the knowledge of physics and related fields to all humanity, directly aligning with its overarching goal of advancing the science of physics for the benefit of humanity.
