Yoseph Imry(Hebrew:יוסף אמרי;born 23 February 1939 – 29 May 2018) was an Israeli physicist.
He was best known for taking part in the foundation ofmesoscopic physics,a relatively new branch ofcondensed matter physics.It is concerned with how the behavior of systems whose size is in between micro- andmacroscopic,crosses over between these two regimes. These systems can be handled and addressed by more or less usual macroscopic methods, but their behavior may still showquantumeffects.
