Abstract
In recent years, phenomena of a universal character have been observed in solid-state physics that, as in nuclear physics and astrophysics, permit the clarification of fundamental problems of physics. Examples are the quantum Hall effect1, quantum transport2,3, the Aharonov-Bohm effect4 as well as 1/f noise5. All these phenomena are universal, i. e. material-independent.
