Since the dawn of time, energy has been mankind's greatest preoccupation - the vital entity that we all need, consume and release in different forms. Over the centuries, energy has transformed lifestyles in societies the world over, contributing to the emergence of new towns and great cosmopolitan cities. Scientific research has played a major part in this extraordinary advance of energy in the conquest of the world, thanks to the many works and discoveries of scientists from the golden age of Islamic civilization, through that of the Renaissance in Europe, to the great technological revolution that has emerged in both North and South. The continuous need for energy has always been the main driving force behind the various discoveries, whether related to energetic matter or energetic reactions. Between pure matter and an active reaction, energy has become the focus of many hybrid studies, manipulating energy as a source on the one hand, and as a finished product on the other.
